Yes a feeding mother can take any covid vaccine as per the recent guidelines. In fact, it's recommended for parents to take vaccine as soon as possible before any further covid wave occurs. Implications - the usual symptoms of fever, body pain, injection site pain will be there, but compared to covid, those reaction are nothing.

At this particular time of rising cases, it is better to be vaccinated than getting infected with covid and developing complications later. This will be more difficult to handle for you and the baby. So please get vaccinated.

Next Steps

There is no side effects due to this other than the usual symptoms of fever and body pain and tiredness for two days. In case of fever, better to give expressed milk at the time of fever spike.
