Hi,
Due to immigration requirements, I need to get vaccinated. Will the MMR, DT and Varilix vaccines get excreted in my milk? Can my baby get the virus?
Please advise!
Thank you!

Here's a link to the CDC's recommendations and contraindications with breastfeeding:
http://www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/rec...ccinations.htm
Where I am in Canada, DT vaccination begins for infants at their 2-month well-baby visit, and MMR is administered to children at 12 months. You should consult with a pediatrician to ensure your child's immunizations are up to date for his/her age, as DT and MMR are strongly recommended vaccinations for the general population, including young children. With the exception of some very limited at-risk populations, EVERYONE should be vaccinated.
Best,
