- Experts are dispelling myths that COVID-19 vaccinations cause infertility.
- They also say there is no evidence yet that the vaccinations cause any health issues for pregnant women.
- They note that the dangers of COVID-19 should outweigh any hesitation about getting vaccinated.
Some younger women who are eligible for COVID-19 vaccinations are taking a pass.
One reason for the hesitancy is the worry that the vaccines can cause infertility.
It’s the kind of fear that spreads quickly through social media feeds.
As the vaccines become available to more younger people, concerns about infertility, pregnancy, and breastfeeding could mean that many women will skip vaccinations.
With herd immunity still a long way off, that could leave a large share of the population vulnerable to infection and illness.
