Is it allowed to take Rubella Vaccine during lactation? |
|
Vaccine is made from live attenuated virus that may be excreted into breast milk. It is not a cause of serious harmful effects; one child reportedly has presented a type of mild Rubella after mother immunization. Vaccines are usually compatible with breastfeeding either if they are formed by live, attenuated, inactivated, death strains or microorganism toxoid. They are not excreted into breast milk and do not cause harm to the infant, except for rubella vaccine, but the virus usually does not infect the infant or if infection does occur, it is well tolerated because the virus is attenuated. Yellow fever vaccine has a higher risk for harm effect on infants younger than 6 months old (Consult information on a particular vaccine at our web). Breastfeeding may enhance antibody response to vaccines and cause fewer side effects as fever or anorexia. Early postpartum period is appropriate to get mothers vaccinated against measles, rubella, mumps and chicken-pox in case they were not immunized. Immunization of mothers with null or low Rubella-antibody levels at early postpartum is recommended. Breastfeeding mothers should be protected by providing recommended vaccination for adults. |
