I’m currently @ 16 weeks pregnant. Is it safe to take the booster jab? Especially when i’m working under healthcare settings.

Okay to take in 2nd trimester, best to have it within week 22-27 as advised to me by a specialist.

According to the specialist, any stage of the pregnancy is fine, but ideally in 2nd trimester. 1. Because there is minimal pregnancy symptoms like nausea and vomitting etc which helps you better cope with the side effects of the vaccine unlike in 1st and 3rd trimester. 2. It takes time for the antibodies to develop in your body after the vaccine and the ideal window for baby to receive antibodies from mummy is during week 22-27 when baby’s main organs have already developed.
