DETROIT, Michigan (WXYZ) â When breastfeeding mothers get the COVID-19 vaccine, do babies get protection too? That is the question two doctors from here in metro Detroit are hoping to help answer.
Dr. Yuliya Malayevâs daughter Mara was born just as the COVID-19 pandemic hit Michigan. When the doctor at Metro Obstetrics and Gynecology in Commerce got the chance to get the COVID-19 vaccine, she looked up research on the impact on nursing babies. She couldnât find much information. Few lactating and pregnant women had been studied.
