There is no evidence that COVID-19 vaccines affect fertility of women or men. Staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccinations is recommended for individuals who are pregnant, trying to get pregnant now, or who might become pregnant in the future, and those who are breastfeeding. A growing body of evidence on the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination indicates that the benefits of vaccination outweigh any potential risks of COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy. Maternal vaccination has also been shown to be safe and effective and protects infants younger than age 6 months from severe COVID-19 and hospitalization.
