Abstract
AbstractMass vaccination using newly approved vaccines against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has begun globally. However, their effect on fertility have not yet been investigated. Previous studies demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 infection may impair sperm parameters. In this study, we are the first to assess the effect of the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 vaccine on sperm parameters. Our results demonstrate that the vaccine does not impair sperm parameters. Thus, we recommend that couples desiring to conceive should vaccinate, as vaccination does not affect sperm whereas SARS-CoV-2 infection does impair sperm.
