Hi,
Thank you for the query. I can understand your concern. According to your statement, you are a breastfeeding mother. You want to take Covid-19 vaccination.
According to the WHO (World Health Organization), when a woman gets vaccinated while breastfeeding, her immune system produces antibodies which protect against Covid-19. Her baby also may get these antibodies through breastfeeding. Children of vaccinated mothers who breastfeed can be benefited from these antibodies against against Covid-19.
So, you can take or get vaccine against Covid-19 without any tensions.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
