Is the HPV Vaccine Safe for Breastfeeding Women?Answer: It has been determined that women who are breastfeeding can safely receive the HPV vaccine, although that decision should be made between the woman and her health-care provider. Women who are pregnant should not receive the HPV vaccine. Although there is no data that suggests the vaccine will cause harm to pregnancy or fetus, the data is limited.
