Pregnant women should come forward for vaccination and take both doses of the COVID vaccine, said NITI Aayog's Member, Health, Dr V.K. Paul.
Noting that the festive season is approaching, he said that Covid appropriate behavior is must for all as second wave is not over yet. "Celebrate festivals at home and avoid going outside. Mask is must for all even after both doses," he stressed.
