Hi, I am still breastfeeding my 6 month old son and I recently got the influenza vaccine. I know that in theory he will get antibodies from this vaccination.

Hello Mrs,

Yes, it is recommended to vaccinate your 6 month old child even if he is breastfed and you have received the vaccine yourself.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
