The conjunction 'and'
Hi teachers,
Is option 'b' also correct?
a) She has already put the meat in the oven, and she has taken a shower.
b) She has already put the meat in the oven, and taken a shower.
When two sentences have the same subject and are connected with 'and', I can omit the subject and the auxiliary, can't I?
Thanks in advance

in informal conversations, it's correct, but I don't know if it's formally correct, too.

Hi,
I'd omit the comma and change wording in sentences.
She has put the meat in the oven and has taken a shower already.
