My latest for @BuzzFeedNews : When a conversation about a friend’s breast milk turned into a deep dive into how the COVID-19 vaccine has impacted human milk banking.

Uncertainty about the vaccine has become the pandemic’s “second layer of chaos” for breast milk banks. Now, a key question from donors and recipients is whether infants are protected against the coronavirus via the milk of vaccinated people.
