MMR Vaccine while breastfeeding

[dut]

Hello

 

I was wondering if anyone can give me their opinion on the safety or otherwise of me receiving an MMR vaccine while breastfeeding my 9 month old son and any effects it may have. I'm aware that a study has shown that 56% of children tested following maternal immunisation with MMR had positive results but ( supposedly) only 1 child developed an infection. Not sure where these figures came from or size of study just figures quoted to me from a lactation nurse.

 

I'm assuming that the assault on my 9 month old's system will be very different via breastmilk than it would be if he himself got the shot.

 

I would normally not be getting vaccinated but need it for greencard process and am more wary than normal over vacs as our older daughter has just come through her first PANDAS episode. She isn't vaccinated and neither will our son be but hadn't counted on this being an issue but greencards won't be issued without full immunisations.

 

I got titers done hoping I'd be immune but came back neg for measles. I'm hoping to do measles as standalone if possible.

 

Any help would be very much appreciated, or if anyone knows a good greencard lawyer who might know a loophole :-)

 

Thanks, Danuta
