Elisheva asked
"Is there any reason that a breastfeeding mother should wait until weaning to
get a hepatitis vaccine? My guess was, no, but I am not expert in this
stuff."
Hep B vaccine is OK.
as per ACIP(Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices) "General Recommendations on Immunization: Recommendations of the
Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices" MMWR, January 28, 1994, Vol.
43, No. RR-1, p. 20. "Neither killed nor live vaccines
affect the safety of breast-feeding for mothers or infants. Breast-feeding
does not adversely affect immunization and is not a contraindication for any
vaccine."
