The former minister says the government should decide at which stage of pregnancy an expectant mother should be vaccinated. FMTNews Vaccine Pregnant

Former minister Yeo Bee Yin, who is 17 weeks pregnant, receiving her Covid-19 jab.

She called on Putrajaya to gather clinical data on pregnant women from the different brands of vaccines under its procurement plan and ensure that they were safe for expectant mothers. Although there was a lack of long-term safety data for expectant mothers, Yeo noted that there was a higher risk of health complications if pregnant women were infected with Covid-19.
