Hello,
With the question "Can I get vaccinated against Covid-19 before getting pregnant? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You can get the Covid-19 vaccine before pregnancy, the recommended dose is 2 doses, intramuscular (0.5ml each dose) doses, 8-12 weeks apart. According to research, after the last dose of covid vaccine, at least 1 month later, you can release to have a baby. You should take iron and folic acid supplements at least 1 month before pregnancy.
If you still have questions about vaccination against Covid-19, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
