No risk, no worry: No vaccines (and very few medicine of any kind) interfere with BCPs. Don't worry about it.

Will any of the Covid vaccines (Pfizer, moderna, J&J) decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills??

I just picked up my birth control pills. I also had my covid vaccine at the same time so I held my prescription under my arm against my skin for about 30 minutes. I got to the car and the packet of pills felt warm. Are they ok?

I am due for my second does of Pfizer covid vaccine in a couple days. Im also, due for my depo birth control. I have from may 3-17 to get it, is it ok to get them close together like that?

I need some sincere and candid advice about covid vaccine please. The biggestconcern is that I dont want to get the vaccine because my wife and I want to have kids but Ive heard can alter your Sperm and cause future birth defects? Legit concern?

Im 29 And wife and I still have plans to have more kids. Are there any potential risks from getting the covid vaccine that could possibly cause potential birth defects?
