meeta agarwalMom of 2 children4 years agoA. Hello mommy, The vaccine has not been studied in lactating women, but it is not a live virus vaccine, the mRNA does not enter the nucleus of the cell and is degraded quickly, so it cannot interfere with cell functions.
If a lactating woman is part of a group (e.g. health worker) recommended for vaccination, vaccination can be offered. SAGE does not recommend discontinuing breastfeeding after vaccination. More evidence is being sought in order to further inform WHO’s policy recommendations on this subject.
