The myth is wholesale nonsense, according to Prof Van-Tam, England s deputy chief medical officer.
Medics have come together on social media to reinforce the message.
Doctors are speaking out to reassure the public that receiving one of the COVID-19 vaccines will not affect fertility.
After dangerous rumors started swirling on social media that getting vaccinated against the coronavirus could hamper male and female fertility, medics and health experts have confirmed that this is a myth.
Dr Edward Morris, President at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, said in a statement: We want to reassure women that there is no evidence to suggest that COVID-19 vaccines will affect fertility. Claims of any effect of COVID-19 vaccination on fertility are speculative and not supported by any data.
