Maternal influenza vaccination boosts durable breast milk antibody-mediated protection in infants
A new study indicates that maternal influenza vaccination significantly enhances the quality and duration of protective antibodies transferred to infants through breast milk. The research highlights that the timing of the vaccination during pregnancy influences the specific types of antibodies produced.
Why it matters
Understanding how maternal immunity is transferred can lead to better vaccination strategies to protect vulnerable newborns from influenza.
