Yes, you can. In fact newer studies have shown that antibodies that are formed in the mother after vaccination can pass on in the breast milk and provide protection to the baby also.

Vaccination has not been recommended to breastfeeding women as of now, due to lack of data. It has been given approval for Pfizer vaccine in USA.
