4.6     Fertility, pregnancy and lactation

Pregnancy
No animal developmental and reproductive studies have been conducted with STAMARIL and the potential risk for humans is unknown. Data on a limited number of exposed pregnancies indicate no adverse effects of STAMARIL on pregnancy or the health of the fetus/newborn child. Nevertheless, as STAMARIL is a live attenuated vaccine, it should not be given during pregnancy unless clearly needed and only after careful consideration of the potential risks and benefits. Pregnancy should be avoided for one month following vaccination.
Breastfeeding
As there is a probable risk of transmission of the vaccine virus strain to the infants from breastfeeding mothers, STAMARIL should not be given to nursing mothers unless when clearly needed such as during an outbreak and only if the potential benefits to the mother outweigh the potential risks, including those to the breastfed child (see Section 4.4.). In case vaccination is needed, it is recommended to interrupt breast- feeding for at least 2 weeks following vaccination.
Fertility
No animal fertility studies have been conducted with STAMARIL and no fertility data are available in humans.
