COVID-19 vaccination does not harm fertility

In a study from the University of Iowa, scientists found that COVID-19 vaccination does not impact clinical outcomes with in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles.

They examined the association between COVID-19 vaccination status and IVF-fresh embryo transfer cycle stimulation outcomes.

The analysis included 142 vaccinated patients and 138 unvaccinated patients.

The researchers found that while the mean number of oocytes retrieved and the number of useable embryos produced were similar between groups, vaccinated patients had higher mean fertilization rates than unvaccinated patients (77.45 versus 68.66 percent).

In addition, there were no big differences seen in the ongoing clinical pregnancy rate and miscarriage rate for vaccinated versus unvaccinated patients.

The team says the current and emerging scientific evidence continues to support that COVID-19 vaccination is safe and effective and has no impact on fertility.

The results of this study can be used to provide reassuring data to patients planning on pregnancy considering COVID-19 vaccination.

The study was conducted by Emily Jacobs et al and published in JAMA Network Open.
