One-of-a-Kind Study Could Be Life-Saving for Breastfeeding Women and Their Babies During COVID-19
Dr. Lars Bode with UCSD is also the Director and Chair of Collaborative Human Milk Research. “Having to choose between a vaccine and continue to breastfeed could be a life or death decision in some of those countries. I think this is a very unique situation we have here in San Diego. We have a biorepository and a research center to be able to answer those questions," he said. The study just received funding and is in the initial stages. So far, more than 2,000 women have volunteered. Results of the study are expected within a few months.
