Screening milk for Covid-specific antibodies

Submitted by admin on

The aim of this study was to understand how antibodies were produced by the mother after COVID-19 vaccination, and to help answer that we recruited 30 women across London and Hertfordshire during 2020. The results from this study have been published and can be read here.

At the start of the pandemic, very little data existed on this issue. Now we know that it is unlikely that the virus is ever transmitted through breastfeeding, and that it is unlikely to pass into milk in a form that is infectious.

Thank you for your support with this study.
