Covid vaccination is not recommended in pregnancy as vaccines are not tested on pregnant females during trials. Recently , Govt allowed vaccine in pregnancy only if u are in a high risk zone, like a health care worker and that too after an informed consent. In UK vaccine was given to pregnant after informed consent and it was found that the incidence of preterm and small of age babies was increased.
Also if u got covid , vaccination can be done after 4-6 weeks of recovery.
