For the record: after considering risks and benefits, I (a breastfeeding mom and healthcare worker) am planning to get the vaccine. I have concluded it is safe to continue nursing. This is my personal decision. Glad FDA enabled pregnant/nursing women to make their own decisions.
This is a helpful thread with some good advice including from professional societies for others pregnant or nursing: https://twitter.com/shaziamsiddique/status/1337145086338084868?s=21 https://twitter.com/shaziamsiddique/status/1337145086338084868
And ICYMI great article/thread I read from @apoorva_nyc that also was helpful https://twitter.com/apoorva_nyc/status/1337823964308107264?s=21 https://twitter.com/apoorva_nyc/status/1337823964308107264
Few people asking what I recommend. this is my personal conclusion and decision based on the info I have today. I wish we had vaccine safety data but we don’t so basing my conclusion on what I have which is expert review and biological basis of vaccines.
These are hard decisions so I’m sharing this personal decision because it may help you or your loved ones think about this. I have pasted some resources above and recommend consulting with your doctor or health professional to make an informed decision. 🙏🏽❤️
