CAIRO – 20 October 2021: Presidential adviser for health affairs Mohamed Awad Tag El-Din said, Wednesday that Covid-19 vaccines are safe for pregnant women, women who are planning for pregnancy, or during breastfeeding.
He added that recent studies have proven that the Coronavirus vaccine is not only safe for pregnant women, but it has proven its effectiveness in protecting these women, and their children after birth, especially during the first six months.
Tag el-Din stated earlier in a phone-in Wednesday that 21 million citizens got 32 million doses of the anti-COVID-19 vaccine as a portion of them have not received the second dose yet.
Tag el-Din said that the fourth wave in Egypt has not ended yet, noting it is still not so bad, which has allowed schools to operate normally.
Egypt recorded Wednesday 877 COVID-19 infections, and 47 deaths as well as 780 recoveries at isolation hospitals.
As such, the total figures became 321,084 infections, 18,105 deaths, and 270,973 recoveries.
Egypt’s Health Ministry announced a few days ago that citizens would receive a booster anti-COVID-19 vaccine jab a year or more after receiving the original two doses.
