Infertility is not a risk with Covid-19 vaccines for kids

It's among parents' top worries around kids getting vaccinated against Covid-19: Could the vaccine somehow impair their child's future fertility? A survey released by the Kaiser Family Foundation last week found that 66% of parents of 5- to 11-year-olds worried that vaccines might negatively impact children's fertility later on. Doctors and public health officials are united in assuring parents this is not a concern. 'Unfounded claims linking COVID-19 vaccines to infertility have been scientifically disproven,' the American Academy of Pediatrics -- which represents doctors who specialize in treating children -- says in a statement on its website.
