Good news fellas! mRNA COVID-19 vaccines don't appear to harm your swimmers

Publicly released:
International

COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, such as Pfizer and Moderna, don't appear to negatively impact men's sperm, with a US study showing the characteristics of men's swimmers don't decline after having the COVID-19 vaccines. The small study of 45 men looked at a host of sperm characteristics including motility and sperm counts both before and after the COVID-19 vaccines, and showed no decline in any of the sperm characteristics they measured. In fact if anything the study showed a small improvement in some characteristics after vaccination, but the authors say the size of this change is within normal individual variation.
