Breastfeeding and the Rabies Vaccine

Question

A breastfeeding mother has been bitten by a dog with unknown rabies status 
and has started the rabies vaccine. Is it safe to continue breastfeeding? 

Response

from Kathryn M. Edwards, MD, 06/12/2001
All rabies vaccines consist of inactivated virus so they pose no risk of 
transmission. It is not known whether inactivated rabies virus or the 
corresponding antibodies cross into the breast milk.[1] However, difficulties 
with breastfeeding would not be anticipated and are extremely unlikely.
