I've known of 3 young women recently who were told that if they wouldn't get
the shot, they'd no longer receive the $.  Despite the fact that this was at
the 4-6 week Postpartum check, with one of the teens, her milk dried up
immediately.

If only as much energy was put into breastfeeding promotion as is used for
counterproductive agendas.
