If people in this group agree to be vaccinated, after being explained the risks/benefits, they need to be transferred to a hospital for vaccination and monitored at a medical facility which is capable of obstetric emergency.
- Pregnant women under 13 weeks are in the group of delayed injections.
- As for the Russian-made Sputnik V vaccine, it is currently contraindicated for all pregnant and breastfeeding women.
