Human milk from women infected and vaccinated for coronavirus has antibodies against COVID-19
Human milk from infected women and vaccinated for coronavirus has antibodies against COVID-19, according to two published studies in the medRxiv repository and launched by the scientific consortium MilkCorona, in which the lecturer Francisco José Pérez-Cano, from the Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences and the Institute for Research on Nutrition and Food Safety (INSA) of the UB takes part.
The main objective of the studies driven by the consortium is to study the impact of the natural infection by SARS-CoV-2 and the vaccination on human milk. Also, they intend to find out whether the immune response depends on the vaccination and whether the levels of antibodies towards SARS-CoV-2 are comparable to those in women who suffered COVID-19, apart from evaluating the impact of the vaccination on these women.
