Is it possible for lactating women to be vaccinated with Sputnik

It turned out that the topic was popular. They even tried to clarify relations with me on this basis.

I explain. Each vaccine has instructions from the manufacturer. Contraindications are prescribed there. For Sputnik, the period of breastfeeding is indicated in contraindications.

In fact, everything is complicated there. Various foreign obstetric organizations in the past month have updated their recommendations for the vaccination of breastfeeding women.

We have already discussed different types of vaccines. So those same obstetric organizations say that most of the available anti-cancer vaccines do not contain a live virus and do not interfere with breastfeeding in any way.

Various explanations were added there that the components of the vaccines do not harm the child through milk, that the vaccines themselves do not pass into the milk, and so on. But each time it is stipulated that we are talking about vaccines without a live virus.

Now let's get back to our Satellite. There's a live adenovirus vector there. So all the explanations above from those same foreign obstetric organizations do not apply to him.

But among foreign vaccines there is a similar vector from the British AstraZeneca. We are with you already discussed .

And for this British vaccine there is explanations from the British health care system to workers in the British health care system. I have read a graphic copy of this piece of paper dated January 12, 2021.

It says that "It is unknown whether COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca is excreted in human milk". That is, it is not known whether their vector vaccine is excreted in breast milk.

Therefore, it would be better for all popular bloggers not to lie about the fact that the viral vector does not float in the blood and is not released into milk. Nobody tested it. So let's do without fantasies.

This was simply not checked, because pregnant and lactating women were not included in the study. No data. Maybe there is nothing terrible there, but it is still impossible to draw a conclusion.

And the British write that they will individually assess the risk from covid and vaccination for such women. This usually applies to healthcare professionals and women with various chronic conditions.

Ours, too, have not been tested for lactating, so while the period of breastfeeding will be a contraindication for Sputnik vaccination. In any case, the risk of contracting covid for a young woman is low.
