Where do you see the risk?
Vaccine is contained within a syringe.
Individual is not in direct contact with the product.

Hi Deb
 
Yes that's correct.  A breastfeeding staff member has asked about the safety of delivering live vaccines.  The greenback does not cover this scenario; I could form a risk assessment on the information there but it is not a robust approach.  Also, a little like COSHH assessments, my RA would not take account of multiple exposures within a defined period.  
 
Grateful for any guidance or if any NHS colleagues have defined policies/procedures for this scenario........
 
Best wishes
 
Sarah

Hi Sarah
 
I may be misunderstanding the question but are you asking if it is safe for a pregnant woman to handle and administer live vaccines???

Hi Sarah
 
Which vaccines does she need? Have you done bloods for MMR and VZV as she may already be immune? BCG she may already have a scar?
 
The vaccine manufacturers may also be able to help as to whether there is any transmission via breastmilk.

Thanks Jackie. 
Well read and very detailed re receiving live vaccines but not about handling/administering them.  Unless I have missed something......

Hello

I have an enquiry regarding a new employee who will be breastfeeding when she starts in post as a Nurse. 

Obviously I have advised a new mother risk assessment prior to returning to work.  Control measures will then be put in place. 

However, I need an evidence base regarding the administration of live vaccines when breast feeding.  Does anyone have a policy or reference material they would be willing to share? 

Thanks in advance. 

Sarah
