COVID-19 Vaccine & Breastfeeding

Q: I am breastfeeding. Should I get the vaccine?

At this time, there is no data regarding the health impact on breastfed infants of mothers who were vaccinated. However, any vaccine that makes it into the breast milk is likely to be quickly inactivated when the milk is digested. In addition, some of your COVID-19 immunity can pass to the baby through the breast milk after you receive the vaccine. Learn more at CDC.
