NCT ID NCT07735767

First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This large study looks back at medical records of over 36,000 mother-infant pairs to see if receiving the Tdap vaccine during pregnancy or shortly after birth is linked to infant growth, how often babies need doctor or emergency visits, and whether mothers start or continue breastfeeding. The goal is to better understand any possible effects of the vaccine on these lactation-related outcomes.
