While the spread of corona in India is slowing down, the vaccination process is in full swing.
More than 57 crore Covid-19 vaccines have been given in India so far.
Of these, 30.13 crore doses were taken by men and 26.89 crore by women.
Women are lagging behind men in getting vaccines.
Exploring the reasons for this reveals surprising results.
Not only women in India but also in other countries are hesitant to get vaccinated.
According to a study by the Melbourne Institute in Australia, women between the ages of 18 and 44 are the most reluctant to use the vaccine. Because Covid-19 fears that the vaccine will affect the chances of getting pregnant.
Last week, the BBC reported that misleading information about abortion and fertility was circulating on the Internet from the vaccine. Women are also being affected by similar news broadcasts, or social media.
Should women planning a pregnancy be vaccinated? Does the vaccine affect fertility? Can pregnant women be vaccinated or not? Such questions arise in the vast majority of people.
Although there is no scientific evidence that the vaccine affects periods, women are linking it to fertility. Because of this, women between the ages of 18 and 35 are less likely to be vaccinated.
Also there is no evidence that the Covid-19 vaccine affects the chances of getting pregnant. No biological causes have been identified. Leading American pharma giant Pfizer Company has conducted a study. The researchers divided vaccinated and non-vaccinated women into two groups and found that the pregnancy rate was similar in both groups.
The researchers also examined short-term changes in periods.
However, there is no evidence that the vaccine poses any threat to fertility.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as well as obstetric teams allow pregnant women to be vaccinated.
In India, too, the government has included pregnant women in the vaccination program since last month.
Research has shown that pregnant women are more likely to be admitted to the ICU if they are infected with Covid-19. Their health deteriorates and their risk of death is even higher, therefore, they are definitely advised to get the Covid-19 vaccine.
The CDC collected data on thousands of pregnant women who received the vaccine. Experts say the vaccine does not affect pregnancy chances
The Government of India also states that it is safe to get vaccinated during pregnancy.
The Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology has declared the vaccine safe for pregnant mothers as well as during pregnancy.
It is a myth that there is a link between the vaccine and fertility. There is no evidence to confirm this.
The Covid-19 vaccine controls the risk of infection and severe symptoms.
Moreover, the vaccine protects mothers from corona infection in their babies.
It is safe to say that vaccination is safe even if you are planning to have a baby or are pregnant.
