    What's the story

    After a Central directive, the Mumbai civic body on Monday allowed lactating mothers and pregnant women to get themselves vaccinated against COVID-19 at approved centers without prior registration, officials said on Monday.

    Lactating mothers and pregnant women can walk in at the centers run by the Maharashtra government and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) between Monday and Wednesday, a BMC release said.

    Information

    As per latest directive, lactating mothers can take the jab

    They are now included in the list of the categories eligible for vaccination on the three days, it said. However, they have to register at vaccination centers. The BMC cited the May 19 directive of the Union government permitting lactating mothers to take COVID-19 vaccines.

    "Pregnant women will have to produce a certificate written on the letterhead of gynecologists from whom they are taking treatment along with a self-consent letter," it said.

    India's death toll crossed the three lakh mark on Monday

    Meanwhile, on Monday, India's death toll due to COVID-19 crossed the three lakh mark. May has been the deadliest month since the beginning of the pandemic.

    The last one lakh COVID-19 deaths were added in less than a month.

    However, vaccinations have slowed across India since a peak in early April. Thus far, India has only fully vaccinated 3.8% of its total population.
