‘No Evidence’ Covid Jab Affects Fertility, Says Vaccine Regulator

There is no evidence to indicate the Covid-19 vaccine will affect fertility or the ability to have children, according to the UK’s medical regulator.

There is also no pattern from any reports so far which suggest any of the vaccines used in the UK, or reactions to them, increase the risk of miscarriage or stillbirth, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said.

In an update published on Monday, the MHRA said: “There is no evidence to suggest that Covid-19 vaccines will affect fertility and the ability to have children.”

It said the numbers of reports of miscarriages and stillbirth are “low in relation to the number of pregnant women who have received Covid-19 vaccines to date and how commonly these events occur in the UK outside of the pandemic”.
