As a pharmacist and a mother, I would get it if available. Vaccines work by introducing a small amount of a weakened or dead version of the virus along with some chemicals (yes, I know this is what often upsets people) to help boost immune response. The immune response is what often makes people feel like they got the illness from the virus (slight fever, muscle soreness, fatigue, etc is how the body tries to stop invaders and is a good thing). It takes about 2 weeks for your body to produce a “full antibody response”. Children that are breastfeeding ingest and receive their antibody/immune response from their mother. In effect, the more that Mommy has been exposed to and is immune to, the more protection baby has while breastfeeding. This protection goes away a few weeks/months after breastfeeding ends.
At this time, we are not aware what the long term effect of the virus or vaccine might be. However, remember when we were young and had “chicken pox parties”? The thought was that children don’t have as bad a reaction as adults do. Now we know that once a person gets chicken pox (caused by varicella virus which children now get a vaccine for), it lives in the spinal column forever. When a person is stressed or has a reduced immune response (for whatever reason), it can flair up and that person will have an extremely painful and contagious episode of shingles. This is an example using a different virus, but one that has a vaccine option.
This choice must be made by each person or family, but I personally intend to have myself and my family vaccinated as soon as possible.
