Get vaccinated during pregnancy or rather only while breastfeeding or maybe

at all afterwards? What does the child benefit from the most?

Questions upon questions and mostly only very unclear or even contradictory statements, ever

depending on which source you consult.

The STIKO recommends vaccination both during pregnancy (not during the first

months) as well as during the breastfeeding period since autumn of last year.

Interesting in this context is a study by the Massachusetts General Hospital in

Boston, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Here

77 pregnant women vaccinated with two doses of mRNA vaccine were compared to

12 women who had a symptomatic Sars-CoV-2 infection between the 20th and 32nd

passed through the week of pregnancy. The level of antibodies in the vaccinated

mothers was higher in umbilical cord blood at birth than in those infected with Covid

study participants. Further examinations of the infants at both 2 and 6 months

​

after birth revealed higher and longer-lasting antibody levels in the

children after the mother’s vaccination than after an infection.

Of course, the meaningfulness of the study is limited, since only a few people

includes. Nevertheless, I find the results very interesting and they give hope

that you can give children a certain amount of corona protection right from the belly.
