That is absolutely not a concern. There is no biological reason to suspect such a problem, and absolutely no data that this happens. Please get vaccinated!

Those rumors are entirely WRONG. The vaccine has no effect whatsoever on fertility or even on babies born to vaccinated moms. The vaccine is MUCH safer than COVID itself. Get vaccinated!
