A social media post with over 36,000 engagements falsely claims that Pfizer documents state that breastfeeding after vaccination is not advised. The post does not cite a source but it appears to be referencing a 2020 document from the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, which stated that at the time of the document’s release there was not sufficient evidence to determine if breastfeeding was safe after vaccination. The document has since been updated to reflect the current data, which shows that breastfeeding after vaccination is safe for mother and infant.
