Pregnant and lactating women in Azerbaijan recommended to be vaccinated

Pregnant and lactating women in Azerbaijan are recommended to be vaccinated, First Deputy Minister of Health, Acting Minister of Health Teymur Musayev said at a briefing at the Task Force under the Cabinet of Ministers.

According to him, pregnant women rarely get inoculated against coronavirus in the country: "In other words, vaccination is not so common among pregnant women. Pregnants who are overweight or have a chronic illness must be vaccinated. This is a world practice, and there is nothing to be afraid of. Pregnant women infected with the virus receive treatment in special conditions."
