Itâs a myth that COVID-19 vaccines can impact fertility, but itâs a myth thatâs keeping many young adult from getting immunized, doctors say.
âSome of the main reasons people are nervous about getting vaccinated are these myths about the mRNA vaccines potentially impacting fertility,â said Dr. Rosemary Olivero, a pediatric infection disease specialist with Spectrum Health in Grand Rapids. âAnd I just want to say that those myths have been busted. They are not true.
