Covid vaccine in 3rd trimester

I was told taking the covid vaccine is safer in second trimester, rather than third trimester. Does anyone know if that's true? Did anyone take the vaccine during 3rd trimester or heard of anyone who has taken but had adverse effects?

2nd trimester is the best as that is the time your body is at strongest. I got my vaccine on 3rd trimester as I initially didnt want to get it. So already late when I decided to push for it. I dont have adverse affect and delay the flu vaccine since it clashes with my covid vaccine. If your decided, just go for it as early as u can!

I took the jabs in my 3rd tri. 32 weeks for 1st jab (sore arm), 35weeks for 2nd jab (sore arm + slightly more tired than usual) 😊 other than that, all's good, in my 38th week currently.

Best to take it asap, risk from Covid is v high. Took mine at beginning of pregnancy before realizing I am pregnant, now 16 week so far so good

i took both dose during my third trimester no side effects. It depends on your body.

Good to take,
