An infectious diseases consultant and breastfeeding mother has said there is “no reason to have concerns about receiving the vaccine while breastfeeding” and that women should have “have no hesitation in receiving it”. Dr Eavan Muldoon is the first healthcare worker in the Mater University Hospital to receive the Pfizer BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine.
Dr Muldoon received the vaccine, alongside other healthcare workers from the Mater on Tuesday. It is expected that vaccination of patients in the hospital will begin shortly.
