MoPH elucidates vaccination impact on fertility

The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) have elucidated in a post that there is no proof that the fertility of men or women will be affected after receiving vaccination doses.

In a response to a commonly asked question about Covid-19 vaccine, does the COVID-19 vaccine affect the fertility of women or men, MoPH said:

“There is no evidence, and no theoretical reason, that any of the vaccines can affect the fertility of women or men. People of reproductive age should get a COVID-19 vaccine when they receive their invitation, including people who are trying to have a baby or thinking about having a baby in the near future.”

To another frequently asked question, is it possible that someone vaccinated against COVID-19 will still get infected?

The MoPh replied:

“No vaccine is 100 percent effective. Extensive clinical trials on the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines show both vaccines are around 95 percent effective at preventing a symptomatic COVID-19 infection after two doses. This is a very high and encouraging efficacy level but there may still be a very small number of people who receive the vaccine and still become sick due to COVID-19.”
