evidence: While COVID-19 vaccines are effective in preventing severe illness, hospitalization and death from SARS-CoV-2 infection, many people who are eligible have elected to not get vaccinated. This is often due to concerns about possible side effects. One concern emerged when a false report surfaced on social media claiming that getting vaccinated against COVID-19 can cause infertility in women. The truth is COVID-19 vaccines don’t affect fertility. [...] COVID-19 vaccines don’t alter fertility "There is absolutely no reason to be worried about fertility with the COVID-19 vaccine," said Dr. Wilson, emphasizing that vaccines "do not cause infertility and they do not affect fertility one way or the other." [...] "What we always do is we have to allow ourselves some time to gather enough information to be able to factually and critically look at a particular problem," he explained. "When we did gather information, that’s when we found these claims of COVID-19 vaccines causing infertility just do not appear to be credible."
