A small study of 11 people has gone viral after finding that breast milk may contain trace amounts of mRNA from COVID-19 vaccines up to 48 hours after vaccination. The study has been circulated worldwide by several high-profile social media accounts and right-wing news sites, with some claiming that getting vaccinated while breastfeeding is dangerous for babies. The study did not find that breastfeeding after COVID-19 vaccination was unsafe and only recommended avoiding breastfeeding in the first two days after vaccination out of an abundance of caution.
