“Women should not take the COVID-19 vaccine before and after five days of their periods”
What FACTLY found
Ministry of Health & Family welfare did not mention anything regarding the vaccination of women during their menstrual cycle under the contraindications (conditions that suggest one should not take the vaccine) section, which implies women can get vaccinated during their periods. None of the health agencies like WHO, CDC, ICMR suggested that menstruating women should not take the COVID-19 vaccine
