Immunization in Special Clinical Circumstances, Aysu Duyan Çamurdan, Editör, Turkiye Klinikleri, Ankara, ss.15-18, 2022
Immunization in lactation is a situation that can cause concern for both parents and healthcare professionals. However, administration of inactivated, recombinant, subunit, toxoid, polysaccharide or conjugate vaccines during breastfeeding is safe. Since data on the administration of meningococcal B (menB) vaccine, which is an inactivated vaccine, in lactation is limited, the vaccine should be postponed if the risk of infection is not high, Although it is thought that live attenuated vaccines can infect the baby theoretically, live vaccines do not pass into milk, except for yellow fever and smallpox vaccines. Also, antibodies in breast milk do not adversely affect the immunogenicity of vaccines. In addition, breastfeeding reduces and alleviates the possibility of side effects of vaccination. As a result, all vaccines can be safely administered except for yellow fever and smallpox vaccine during lactation. If the risk of infection is low, the MenB vaccine should be postponed to the post-lactation period.
