Does Breast Milk Pass mRNA to Infants

In COVID-19, Latest News by Precision Vaccinations

Initially, when vaccines were deployed with Messenger RNA (mRNA) encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), researchers thought it remained near the injection site and quickly degraded.
However, recent reports published by well-known clinical journals suggest that the mRNA/LNPs can enter the bloodstream, accumulate in tissues, and may be passed to infants in expressed breast milk (EBM).
To better understand how this occurrence may impact infants, a leading journal published a study supported by the Department of Pediatrics, NYU-Grossman Long Island School of Medicine.
