This has been most manifest in the debates as to mask policy and to what degree there should be closures of public spaces, but, has included the specifics of vaccination recommendations.Driving the public's reluctance if not outright refusal to be vaccinated despite the explicit recommendations of the CDC and approval of the FDA has been the dissemination of misinformation, myths, and or conspiracy theories related to safety and efficacy of the newly developed messenger RNA COVID-19 vaccinations.1In particular, this reluctance and adamant refusal to be vaccinated has been a phenomenon of woman who are pregnant and or who intend to become pregnant and women who wish to breastfeed their infants, resulting in lower rates as opposed to the matched general public's vaccination rate. This phenomenon is striking given the well-documented increased risk and severity of COVID-19 disease in pregnant women with subsequent increased adverse outcomes for both mother and infant (including increased risk of preterm births and still birth).2This situation was highlighted in the results of a recently released survey study of the Kaiser Family Foundation.3 The findings were as follows: Nearly a quarter (24%) incorrectly believe pregnant women should not get a COVID-19 vaccine; another 37% have heard the misinformation and are not sure whether it is true.In total, 17% wrongly believe it is unsafe for women who are breastfeeding to get a vaccine; another 36% have heard the misinformation and are not sure whether it is true.In total, 16% wrongly believe that the COVID-19 vaccines have been shown to cause infertility; another 44% have heard the misinformation and are not sure whether it is true.Most disturbing is that >70 of the surveyed women heard at least one of misinformation/myths and either said that it is true or are unsure whether it is true. Not surprising, willingness to accept as true this unsubstantiated information correlated with degree of education wherein women with a college education were more reluctant to believe the myths than women who only had a high school education. However, the data as to the correlations of beliefs of the misinformation and myths with political identification were even more striking. In response to a question as to one's belief in the safety of vaccination, the response was as follows:Party IDIs it safe for adultsIs it safe for people who are pregnant or trying to become pregnantDemocrats70%40%Independents41%21%Republicans23%10%Specific data as to correlation of political party identification and belief as to safety or risk of vaccination while breastfeeding were lacking but extrapolation from the data regarding safety during pregnancy suggests that this too may be a factor in a mothers choice to breastfeed or to vaccinate. While additional data related to this potential dilemma (to vaccinate or to breastfeed) are needed, to date there is sufficient evidence that the administration of a COVID-19 vaccine is safe and poses no additional risk to either the breastfeeding woman or the breastfed baby.4 Unfortunately, the Kaiser report confirms that scientific proof and objectively collected data may not be sufficient in view of the politicization of attitudes toward vaccine administration.References1.
