Antepartum vs. postpartum vaccination: which provides the most protection against SARS-CoV-2 in breastfed infants? PLOSONE antepartum postpartum vaccines womenshealth childrenshealth covid COVID19 SARSCoV2 breastfeeding research
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaApr 10 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in PLOS ONE Journal, researchers evaluated the efficacy of transplacental transfer of antibodies against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 to infants from mothers receiving coronavirus disease 2019 vaccines before and after the birth of the infant.
Pregnant women are advised to get vaccinated against COVID-19; however, many are either reluctant or choose to receive vaccines in the postpartum period. The pairs were divided into two study groups: mothers receiving COVID-19 vaccines before infant birth and practicing breastfeeding and those who practiced breastfeeding and received COVID-19 vaccines after the infant's birth.
Related StoriesLinear regression modeling was performed to calculate the half-lives for nasal and serological antibody titers. No pairs displayed anti-SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid IgG titers; therefore, none had recent SARS-CoV-2 infection.
