Myth-Buster #6 - Does the Covid-19 vaccine affect fertility??

There is no evidence that the Covid-19 vaccine affects fertility.

Myth-Buster #5 - Can I have the vaccine if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?

Yes. The MHRA has updated their guidance to say that pregnant women and those who are breastfeeding can have the vaccine but should discuss it with a clinician to ensure that the benefits outweigh any potential risks.

Myth-Buster #4 - Are there any side effects?

Side effects are important details which the MHRA always consider when assessing
candidate vaccines for use.

For the Covid-19 vaccines, like lots of others, they have identified that some people might feel slightly unwell, but they report that no significant side effects have been observed in the tens of thousands of people involved in trials.

When you have had the Covid-19 vaccination, you may have some mild side effects. These can include:
- a sore arm where the needle went in
- feeling tired
- a headache
- feeling achy

You can take painkillers, such as paracetamol, if you need to. If your symptoms get worse or you are worried, call 111. More information on possible side effects:

Myth-Buster #3 - Is the NHS confident the vaccine is safe?

Yes. The NHS will not offer any Covid-19 vaccinations to the public until independent experts have signed off that it is safe to do so.

The MHRA, the official UK regulator, has said these vaccines are safe and highly effective.

As with any medicine, vaccines are checked at every stage in the development and manufacturing process, and are monitored once they have been authorised and are being used in the wider population.

Myth-Buster #2 - How effective are the vaccines? How long do they take to work?

The MHRA have said these vaccines are highly effective, but to get full protection
people need to come back for the second dose – this is really important.

To ensure as many people are vaccinated as quickly as possible, the Department for Health and Social Care now advise that the second dose of both the OxfordAstraZeneca and the Pfizer/BioNtech vaccine should be scheduled up to 12 weeks apart.

Full protection kicks in around a week or two after that second dose, which is why it’s important that when you do get invited, get yourself booked in as soon as possible. Even those who have received both vaccines still need to follow social distancing and other guidance.

YOUR VACCINE QUESTIONS ANSWERED - From today, we'll be answering your questions about the vaccine with a little help from the NHS.

Myth-Buster #1 -Will the vaccine give me Covid-19?

The vaccine cannot give you Covid-19. Having the two doses will reduce your chance of becoming seriously ill in the future.
