COLUMBIA (WOLO): Doctors say some women may be thinking twice about getting the COVID-19 vaccine, after rumors circulating online claim it could cause infertility. But doctors also say the vaccine is not designed to harm our bodies.
Local Reproductive Endocrinologist, Dr. Heather Cook, with Coastal Fertility Specialists in Lexington County says she receives questions and concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine from patients daily.
“Most of our patients are not as concerned about long-term issues with the vaccine. Their main concern because they’re trying to get pregnant now is, is this going to hurt their pregnancy or potentially hurt their baby.”
