Effect of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination on the outcomes of assisted reproductive technology: A review.

It has been over 4 years since the coronavirus disease 2019 outbreak, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). As an effective response to coronavirus disease 2019, the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines have been widely used around the world. However, couples who are planning to conceive naturally or by assisted reproductive technology (ART) are concerned about the impact of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines on pregnancy and offspring safety. Furthermore, in the initial stage of the epidemic, opinions among physicians and healthcare providers on whether ART patients should be immunized are divided due to the lack of data regarding the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine on ART. This is not the first, nor will it be the last time humans confront pandemics. It is time to summarize the experience about the effect of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine on the outcomes of ART, which can provide a reference for the future. This paper reviewed relevant research, and significant adverse effects of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine on the outcome of ART have not been observed. Considering the increased risk of serious complications in pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2, timely vaccination may be a wiser choice.
