Will vaccination against COVID interfere with breastfeeding?

Question

Hello, I have a question regarding the covid vaccination. At the moment, I have a 5 month old baby and I am breastfeeding exclusively with my baby and I intend to breastfeed my baby until she weans naturally which means maybe around her second birthday. I am concerned about vaccinations in relation to my milk production. I have seen a few articles that say that vaccination can affect hormones and I want to make sure that it will not interfere with my breastfeeding. For me, breastfeeding is essential, so this could help me make an informed choice about vaccination, because I am not against vaccination as I am a nurse, I just have some concerns about breastfeeding.
