Breastfeeding

  • The Joint Committee on Vaccination (JCVI) has recommended that the vaccine can be received by breastfeeding mothers.
  • There is no data on the safety of COVID-19 vaccines for breastfeeding mothers or for infants. Despite this, COVID-19 vaccines are not thought to be a risk to the breastfeeding infant, and the benefits of breastfeeding are well known.
  • COVID-19 vaccination: a guide for all women of childbearing age, pregnant or breastfeeding
