A pediatrician in my area is trying to find an answer to the question below. If 
anyone on the LACTNET list has a good reference, please e-mail me privately 
to [log in to unmask] so that I can help with her research. Thanks! (read 
her message below):

"I am a pediatrician and I specialize in Travel Medicine. I am collaborating with 
colleagues at Harvard on a paper addressing the breastfeeding traveler.

 I have been specifically searching for resources on questions of the  
 immune response to vaccines given to the breastfeeding mother. I  
have scoured the literature and consulted many resources, but find  
little in the area of the immune system of the woman who is  
breastfeeding. If you have any resources to point me toward, I would  
greatly appreciate them. I am suspecting that the answers to the  
questions on this topic are not known, as the area is of interest to  
a small group. As women travel, however, we are finding this an area  
of increased interest and look to supplant our advice with good  
science."
