“…In a nationally representative sample of approximately 1000 adults living in the United States, the percentage of females who did not intend or were unsure was significantly higher than that of males (48.4% vs. 36.0%) 11 . The results of several other studies on SARS‐CoV‐2 vaccine hesitation also supported this finding 57–60 . Similarly, a meta‐analysis found that among both the general population and health professionals, males were better vaccinated than females for seasonal influenza 61 .…”

Fear of possible negative effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) vaccine on fertility is the main reason for vaccine hesitancy among the public especially women of childbearing age. Despite the high coverage of COVID‐19 vaccination in China, more scientific evidence is still needed to address their concerns and guide fertility counseling and management in the future. Herein, we performed a retrospective cohort study at a single large center for reproductive medicine in China between August 2020 and May 2023. Patients aged 20–42 years with no history of laboratory‐confirmed COVID‐19 were included and categorized into different groups according to their vaccination status. The serum sex hormone levels, anti‐Müllerian hormone concentrations, embryo quality, and pregnancy outcomes were evaluated and compared among them. We found there were no significant differences in the concentrations of follicle‐stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone and progesterone between the unvaccinated, first‐dose, second‐dose, and booster vaccinated groups. However, the estradiol showed a highly significant increase in the one‐dose vaccinated group compared with its levels in other groups. Among unvaccinated and either vaccinated patients, anti‐Müllerian hormone levels were comparable (p = 0.139). The number of oocytes retrieved, fertilization rate and good‐quality embryo rate were all similar between each group of in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection. No significant differences were observed regarding other laboratory parameters. Moreover, the vaccination status of infertile couples did not exert any adverse effect on the pregnancy outcomes in all assisted reproductive technologies cycles. In short, we comprehensively evaluated the reproductive safety of inactivated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 vaccine and found any dose of vaccination wouldn't negatively affect female fertility parameters such as sex hormone levels and ovarian reserve. Moreover, this is the first study to complete the live birth follow‐up of the cohort after receiving inactivated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 vaccine, further dispelling the misconception and providing reassurance for decision‐making by clinicians.

Who is Perceived to be an Expert on COVID-19 Vaccines on Social Media?: Biomedical Credentials Confer Expertise, Even Among Vaccine-hesitant and Conservative Observers

Who is perceived to be an expert on COVID-19 vaccination on social media? We conducted two experimental studies investigating how the presence of biomedical credentials on social media profiles impacts users’ perceived expertise. Participants (Experiment 1 N = 200; Experiment 2 N = 201) viewed a series of Twitter profiles that appeared with or without biomedical credentials and judged to what extent they believed each user was an expert on the topic of COVID-19 vaccination. We found that the presence of biomedical credentials consistently increased perceptions of expertise, including among unvaccinated, vaccine-hesitant, and conservative participants. This work supports existing observations that biomedical credentials may be leveraged by both pro- and anti-vaccine communities to increase perceived credibility and message reach, and counters the narrative that those with anti-vaccination attitudes do not recognize biomedical credentials as conferring expertise.
