Breastfeeding has been excluded from the list of contraindications to vaccination with the Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine, according to the instruction for the use of Sputnik V. The press service of the Russian health ministry confirmed this information. Breastfeeding was listed among contraindications to the use of Sputnik V in the previous edition of the document. Back in July, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended breastfeeding women to get vaccinated against COVID-19, saying that vaccination poses no risks to babies and provides protection.
