ABSTRACT
Aims The expedited development of multiple COVID-19 vaccines has raised concerns for some, with vaccine hesitancy described in many populations. A U.S. study assessing fertility patients attitudes towards the COVID -19 vaccine revealed that over half were unsure, or would not accept the vaccine if offered. Only 7.4% of participants in this study were male. We therefore sought to assess the perspective of male fertility patients towards COVID-19 vaccination. Methods Men with a fertility appointment were invited to complete an anonymous 21-item questionnaire. Results Willingness to accept the COVID-19 vaccination was influenced by stage of fertility journey. Overall, 76% (n=102) of participants were willing to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Men with a pregnant partner were most likely to accept or have already accepted the vaccine (97%, 30/31). Conclusion Although concerns around COVID-19 vaccines persist, this study demonstrates the growing rate of acceptance and engagement among the male fertility population.
