Can the RSV vaccine be given during breastfeeding?

The benefits of breastfeeding are well known, and the RSV vaccine can safely be given to women who are breastfeeding. The antibodies you make after you have been vaccinated pass into your breast milk. These may give your baby some protection against RSV. 

You should not stop breastfeeding before your vaccination, and you can continue breastfeeding as normal afterwards.
