I have an 11-month-old baby and I am breastfeeding. Can I get the COVID-19 vaccine?

Yes, it is safe to get the COVID-19 vaccine while breastfeeding. Studies have shown that the vaccine does not pass through breast milk, but the antibodies that help fight infections do. By getting vaccinated, you can pass on protective mechanisms to your child through your milk. It is a natural way of protecting your child.
