If I'm pregnant or breastfeeding, can I get a COVID-19 vaccine?
If you are currently pregnant, breastfeeding or planning to get pregnant now or in the future, you absolutely can get the COVID-19 vaccine, and I highly recommend that you do get the COVID-19 vaccine.
We also know that if the person receives the COVID-19 vaccine while they are pregnant or while they are breastfeeding, then they are able to provide some protection to that infant up until the age of six months old before they are able to get the COVID-19 vaccine. And so we absolutely recommend that you get the COVID-19 vaccine if you're currently pregnant, breastfeeding or planning to get pregnant.
Please contact your doctor with any additional questions you may have, or visit the website for your local health department or the CDC at www.cdc.gov Forward slash coronavirus for the most up-to-date information. These videos are produced as a joint effort by Illinois Vaccinates Against COVID-19 (I-VAC), the Family Health Foundation of Illinois, and the Illinois Academy of Family Physicians (IAFP).
