Request
I completed the vaccination course (both doses with the vaccine made by Pfizer) about two weeks ago. After the second administration, is there a minimum waiting time for becoming pregnant?
Reply
“There are no official data on the matter. After the second dose I would recommend waiting about two months, as has been the case for years for those seeking a child and who must undergo the rubella vaccine. It is a matter of caution, not a precise indication. “.

Request
I am thirty-six, my wife thirty-five, we have been looking for a child for over two years. Could the vaccine cause fertility problems or complications for women during pregnancy?
Reply
“Like all vaccines, even those against Covid could give undesirable effects, but have no contraindications. We must instead deny rumors that speak of consequences on fertility: no study reports them”.
