I'm at 20 weeks and though gynae says it's OK to take it, I've decided not to until after delivery since there's not enough data and evidence that suggest any "deformities" or implications to the baby during the first few years when they're born. I'll only take it after confinement when my baby is out. This way, he still gets the antibodies from me through breast milk, minus the risk of complications. The government's aim is to get the entire nation vaccinated, so indefinitely there won't be articles available to us about the risks the vaccine carries toward our babies if we take them whilst pregnant. All articles are pointing towards going for it. It's a personal judgement and decision for us as pregnant mums. For me, I wouldn't risk it and would rather take precautionary measures like stay out of gatherings or be at places with crowds, so as to minimise the risks. The influenza and pertussis jabs we take now are good enough. Mask up and sanitise all the time!
