“…The specific antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 have been proved in breastmilk from infected or vaccinated [BNT162b2 ( 18 , 19 ), mRNA-1273 ( 19 ), ChAdOx1-S ( 20 ), CoronaVac ( 21 )] mothers ( 22 , 23 ). Interestingly, specific antibodies are also found in neonatal umbilical cord blood and saliva of breastfed infants ( 11 , 24 , 25 ), proving the antibodies could be transferred to and protect the infants without significant adverse effects, which could explain the resistance of some neonates to SARS-CoV-2 ( 12 ). Moreover, anti SARS-CoV-2 secretory immunoglobulin A (IgA) can passively protect neonates ( 5 , 12 , 22 ), while the IgA-spike antigen immune complex can also actively stimulate and strengthen the autoimmune system of newborns ( 12 ).…”
