<meta name="description" content="The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and several health professional organizations state that vaccines given to a nursing mother do not affect the safety of breastfeeding for mothers or infants and that breastfeeding is not a contraindication to measles, mumps, rubella and varicella virus vaccine. Breastfed infants should be vaccinated according to the routine recommended schedules. Although rubella vaccine virus might be excreted into milk, the virus usually does not infect the infant. If an infection does occur, it is well tolerated because the viruses are attenuated.[1-3] No clear evidence exists of live attenuated measles or mumps vaccine virus excretion into breastmilk.[4] Lack of exclusive breast feeding until 5 months of age is a risk factor for an infant’s poor response to measles vaccination.[5]">

id="LM783.Summary_of_Use_during_Lactation"><h3>Summary of Use during Lactation</h3><p>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and several health professional organizations state that vaccines given to a nursing mother do not affect the safety of breastfeeding for mothers or infants and that breastfeeding is not a contraindication to measles, mumps, rubella and varicella virus vaccine. Breastfed infants should be vaccinated according to the routine recommended schedules. Although rubella vaccine virus might be excreted into milk, the virus usually does not infect the infant. If an infection does occur, it is well tolerated because the viruses are attenuated.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM783.REF.1" rid="LM783.REF.1">1</a>-<a class="bibr" href="#LM783.REF.3" rid="LM783.REF.3">3</a>] No clear evidence exists of live attenuated measles or mumps vaccine virus excretion into breastmilk.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM783.REF.4" rid="LM783.REF.4">4</a>] Lack of exclusive breast feeding until 5 months of age is a risk factor for an infant’s poor response to measles vaccination.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM783.REF.5" rid="LM783.REF.5">5</a>]</p></div><div id="LM783.Drug_Levels"><h3>Drug Levels</h3><p><i>Maternal Levels.</i> No studies have evaluated the effects of the combined measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV) vaccine during breastfeeding. A study of mothers vaccinated with the Cendehill strain of live, attenuated rubella virus found no transmission of the live virus to their breastfed infants.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM783.REF.6" rid="LM783.REF.6">6</a>] However, rubella vaccine virus can appear in breastmilk and result in infections in some infants.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM783.REF.7" rid="LM783.REF.7">7</a>-<a class="bibr" href="#LM783.REF.10" rid="LM783.REF.10">10</a>]</p><p>In a prospective study, 169 mothers with low titers or either measles or rubella were given MR vaccine (Schwarz FF-8 strain/TO-336 strain; Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd, Osaka, Japan) at their 1-month postnatal checkup. Mothers provided 5 mL of breastmilk 2 weeks later. Rubella virus antigen was not detected in the breastmilk of any mothers. Measles virus RNA was isolated from the breastmilk of 2 vaccinated mothers.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM783.REF.11" rid="LM783.REF.11">11</a>]</p><p><i>Infant Levels.</i> Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date. Two postpartum women immunized with varicella vaccine provided preimmunization and serial postimmunization breastmilk samples (number not specified). One sample of colostrum contained detectable viral DNA and B-actin by polymerase chain reaction, but all other samples were negative for these species. No varicella gene sequences were found in any of the samples.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM783.REF.12" rid="LM783.REF.12">12</a>]</p><p>One study of 12 women vaccinated with live, attenuated varicella vaccine found no evidence of varicella virus excretion into breastmilk.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM783.REF.13" rid="LM783.REF.13">13</a>]</p><p><i>Infant Levels.</i> Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.</p></div><div id="LM783.Effects_in_Breastfed_Infants"><h3>Effects in Breastfed Infants</h3><p>Limited data indicate that breastfeeding can enhance the response of the infant to certain vaccine antigens.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM783.REF.2" rid="LM783.REF.2">2</a>,<a class="bibr" href="#LM783.REF.3" rid="LM783.REF.3">3</a>,<a class="bibr" href="#LM783.REF.14" rid="LM783.REF.14">14</a>]</p><p>One 12-day-old breastfed infant developed a rubella infection 11 days after maternal vaccination with live rubella vaccine.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM783.REF.15" rid="LM783.REF.15">15</a>] However, it is questionable if maternal vaccination was the cause of the infant's infection.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM783.REF.16" rid="LM783.REF.16">16</a>]</p><p>Another breastfed infant had live rubella vaccine virus isolated from a throat swab after maternal immunization.

The baby’s mother received the varicella vaccine (Varivax, Merck & Co) on day 3 postpartum, when the infant was present in the room. Neither the mother nor any known contact had a rash prior to the infant’s rash. No other known contact had been vaccinated in the 90 days prior to the infant’s presentation at the clinic. The infant was primarily formula-fed, but received expressed breastmilk 4 times a day. The authors considered transmission via breastmilk, saliva or respiratory spread unlikely, but possible. The most likely exposure was thought to be via aerosolization at the time of vaccine administration.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM783.REF.17" rid="LM783.REF.17">17</a>]</p><p>In a prospective study of mothers given MR vaccine (Schwarz FF-8 strain/TO-336 strain; Takeda Pharmaceutical Co.
