BARNSLEY Council is encouraging pregnant women to speak to their midwife about getting the coronavirus vaccine.
Public Health England say that thousands of pregnant women have been safely vaccinated in the UK and worldwide, and that Covid infection can be ‘serious’ for pregnant women.
A spokesperson for Barnsley Council said: “Having both doses of the Covid-19 vaccine will help protect you and your baby from serious illness caused by the virus.
“Your midwife or doctor will be able to support you to make an informed decision.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
