The situation created by the pandemic, insecurity and all the other consequences that come from it have made people step in before making decisions such as marriage, or family expansion. In 2020, the number of marriages in the country shrank significantly: only 17.5 marriages were performed in the country, the lowest number since 1990.
Following this phenomenon, many couples feel intimidated to take the next step: the birth of a baby in pandemic times! A good part of them say that they will postpone the pregnancy after the full vaccination. According to Monitor.al, such a phenomenon has been confirmed by various gynecologists, who have noticed the reluctance of young people to plan a pregnancy due to fears.
Despite this trend that has recently become more apparent, doctors say the difference is still not noticeable in fertility. According to them, it would take at least a year to find out if the pandemic has affected fertility.
Beyond that, many girls and women, referring to recent studies, are reluctant to get the anti-Covid vaccine for fear that the vaccine will cause infertility. This approach has spread from unreliable social media sources. However, what do the experts say?
Dr. Jennifer Conti, obstetrician-gynecologist and medical consultant at Modern Fertility, told Healthline that there is zero evidence that Covid-19 vaccines interfere with fertility. "This misinformation is dangerous because the confusion on which it is based sounds credible, but in fact it is not," Conti said.
