Will getting the vaccine make men sterile?

Question: Can the COVID-19 vaccine make men sterile? Answer: No. In fact, the vaccine might protect your fertility.
COVID-19 vaccines don’t cause sterility: The COVID-19 vaccine will not make you sterile. Some people (about 16%) get a mild fever for a day or two – and any fever will temporarily reduce sperm count. On the other hand, men are more likely to get COVID-19, more serious cases, and die more often than women.
A serious case of COVID-19 can reduce fertility. According to the Journal of the Society for Fertility and Reproduction, current studies confirm that SARS-CoV-2 can affect the male reproductive system. Abnormal levels of sex hormones and declining sperm quality were observed in patients during and after recovery from COVID-19. The worse the case, the worse the impact.
COVID-19 vaccines protect fertility. There’s no evidence that the vaccines harm fertility, but there’s a lot of evidence that the disease does. So if you’re worried about fertility – get vaccinated. Being alive is sexy.
