ABSTRACT
We describe the dynamics of the vaccine-specific antibody response in the breastmilk and serum in a prospective cohort of ten lactating women who received two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 COVID-19 mRNA vaccine. The antibody response was rapid and highly synchronized between breastmilk and serum, reaching stabilization 14 days after the second dose. The predominant serum antibody was IgG. The response in the breastmilk included both IgG and IgA with neutralizing capacity.
