A member asked:
Is it safe to get the tdap vaccine when you are breastfeeding? do you need to pump and dump or anything like that?

There is no need to dump your breast milk because of Tdap, you should continue breastfeeding because there is no live virus.

Yes, the components of this vaccine are both safe for you and do not interfere/add anything of importance to the breast milk.
