This weekend, it was revealed that 18-to-34-year-old women were the most likely group to refuse the Covid-19 vaccine in the UK.
The reason? The perceived risks for fertility and pregnancy: whether they were currently expecting, trying to conceive, or just planning to have children in the future.
The YouGov poll showed that a quarter of women at childbearing age had concerns that the vaccine would either affect their unborn child or their fertility down the line.

Currently in the UK, pregnant women are being advised to wait until after the birth to have the Covid-19 vaccine while women who conceive between their doses are being told to delay the second.
