New York, July 18 : Vaccines against Covid-19 were not detected in human milk, according to a small study, indicating vaccine safety for pregnant and lactating women and providing early evidence that the shots are not transferred to the infant.
Researchers from the University of California-San Francisco (UCSF) analysed the breast milk of seven women after they received the mRNA vaccines -- Pfizer and Moderna -- and found no trace of the vaccines that are known to inhibit transmission of SARS-CoV2, a virus that causes Covid-19.
