Can I receive the vaccine if I am breastfeeding or pregnant?

Category: vacination

Yes. There is limited data on use in breastfeeding and pregnant women, however it is generally considered to be safe. Pregnant women are at increased risk of complications from COVID19, and as such should consider vaccination to prevent severe illness. Given that the COVID19 vaccine is non-replicating, there is no risk to lactating women or the baby. Ultimately, getting vaccinated is a personal choice, and you should weigh the risks and benefits prior to taking the vaccine. Our on-site providers (Physician or Physician Assistant) are more than happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
