After months of anticipation, the first Covid-19 vaccines finally started being administered in the UK last month. Amid the rollout, several rumours and myths have been circulating about the vaccine, including fears that the jab could affect fertility. Now, Professor Lucy Chappell, NIHR Research Professor in Obstetrics at King's College London, is attempting to reassure women that the Covid-19 jab will not affect their fertility. More than a quarter of 18-to- 34-year-old women said they would say no to the jab, citing their concerns over the vaccine's effect on fertility and pregnancies. Professor Chappell's advice comes shortly after a poll revealed that young women are the most likely to turn down the Covid-19 vaccine.
