A mom with 3 week old twins was given the Zostavax vaccine and told to pump and dump for 6 weeks. I have read the entry in 2014 MMM that says there is currently no established evidence of transmission of the vaccine in breastmilk but since it's an L3, just wanted to double check before very politely telling the mom that her doctor is crazy.
Can you confirm for me that suspension of bf is unnecessary? Thank you.
