COVID 19 vaccine: You are blessed to have this vaccine offered to you. Despite rapid development, the vaccine has still been well tested. Based on past history, there is no reason to believe that there will be lasting adverse effects or negative impact on fertility. There are very few contradictions to use of the vaccine.

We don't really know: The vaccine hasn't been around ling enough to answer any of your questions. What can we say about ling term effects of a vaccine less than a year into development. However, the technology used for the vaccine you speak if, uses messenger RNA and your own immune system to make the needed antibodies. When this technology was used with Ebola virus, no untoward effects were noted.
