  Background: The scarcity of data on Covid-19 vaccination among lactating women raises concern about the safety of vaccines in this group of patients. Lactating individuals who decided to get vaccinated participated in our pharmacovigilance survey research. We present a profile of adverse events reported among these women and their children. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey among breastfeeding women who had received COVID-19 vaccines. Participants were recruited through social media and websites. We examined the frequency of adverse events among breastfeeding women, their children and impact on breastfeeding. Statistical analysis included chi-square tests and logistic regression.
