Answer by Dr. Ru: About Poliomyelitis Live Oral Vaccine usage in lactation
Live attenuated polio virus is used. Any risk for decreased antibody response to the vaccine as a result of antibodies contained in the breast milk is only theoretical based. It does not happen with the inactivated polio vaccine (Salk) Vaccines are usually compatible with breastfeeding either if they are formed by live, attenuated, inactivated, death strains or microorganism toxoid. Except for rubella vaccine, they are not excreted into breast milk and do not cause harm to the infant. Yellow fever vaccine has a higher risk for harm effect on infants younger than 6 months old (Consult information on a particular vaccine at our web). Breastfeeding may enhance antibody response to vaccines and cause fewer side effects as fever or anorexia. Early postpartum period is appropriate to get mothers vaccinated against measles, rubella, mumps and chicken-pox in case they were not immunized. Breastfeeding mothers should be protected by providing recommended vaccination for adults.
