We are currently involved in a clinical trial for Roto virus vaccine. I read the pamphlet we give to parents no mention that breastfeeding helps protect against this. I asked the research team if Merck was looking at breastfeeding as a variable................they didn't want to hear it.

But then they didn't want to hear it when we where a site for clinical trails for RSV vaccine either. Any thoughts?

Shouldn't breastfeeding be looked at as a variable when accessing this vaccine? What do the Docs on the list say?
