THE ANSWER
WHAT WE FOUND
According to the CDC, “there is currently no evidence that any vaccines, including COVID-19 vaccines, cause fertility problems.”
ACOG, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, says on its COVID-19 FAQ page, “yes, if you are planning or trying to get pregnant, you can get a COVID-19 vaccine. There is no evidence that the COVID-19 vaccines cause infertility. You also do not need to delay getting pregnant after you get a vaccine.”
In a separate advisory about COVID-19 vaccinations, ACOG released a stronger statement against the infertility claim. “Unfounded claims linking COVID-19 vaccines to infertility have been scientifically disproven,” the advisory, last updated April 28, says. “ACOG recommends vaccination for all eligible people who may consider future pregnancy. Given the mechanism of action and the safety profile of the mRNA vaccines in non-pregnant individuals, COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are not a cause of infertility.”

The new evidence from researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was published Wednesday, April 21, 2021, in the New England Journal of Medicine. Johnson & Johnsonâs now paused vaccine was not included.
