No Scientific Evidence That Vaccination Causes Infertility: Centre

None of the available COVID-19 vaccines in India affects fertility as "all vaccines and their constituents are tested first on animals", the centre said.

There are "no scientific evidences" suggesting that COVID-19 vaccination can cause infertility, the centre said today following false claims and reports on vaccine side-effects. The centre clarified that none of the available vaccines in India affects fertility as "all vaccines and their constituents are tested first on animals and later in humans to assess if they have any such side effects." "The vaccines have been found to be safe and effective," it said. India is using two vaccines -- Covishield and Covaxin -- at present.
