Here are some common questions about the COVID-19 vaccine and pregnancy / breastfeeding.

❔ What about breastfeeding?

COVID-19 vaccines can be safely given to people who are breastfeeding; the vaccine is not detectable in your breast milk.

🔹 Antibodies have been shown to pass in the breastmilk after maternal vaccination and may protect your baby against COVID-19.
🔹 Receiving a COVID-19 vaccine while breastfeeding should not disrupt your breastfeeding and does not have an adverse impact on your baby.

❔ What if I get pregnant after getting the vaccine?

If you are pregnant or become pregnant soon after getting the first dose of the vaccine, you should complete the full course and receive your second dose.

🔹 Several studies show there is no impact of COVID vaccination prior to and at any time, in the first trimester on the risk of miscarriage or any adverse pregnancy outcome.

❔ What if I am planning a pregnancy?

People who are planning to become pregnant are recommended to be vaccinated as soon as possible. There is no evidence to suggest that the COVID-19 vaccine causes fertility issues. Fertility treatment is not a medical reason that prevents you from receiving a COVID vaccine.
