Question:
Does the COVID-19 vaccine affect fertility?
Answer:
No. COVID-19 vaccines do not cause fertility problems (problems trying to get pregnant) and there is no scientific reason to believe that they will. Recent studies have shown that COVID-19 vaccines do not impact fertility.
Getting a COVID-19 vaccine if you are planning to get pregnant or are pregnant is the safest choice to protect you from COVID-19. Pregnant people are at increased risk of experiencing a severe case of COVID-19 with serious outcomes for themselves and their baby, including preterm birth.
