No Data on Negative Impact of COVID Vaccines on Reproductive Function, Russian Health Ministry Says

The ministry on Tuesday published the fourth version of guidelines for organizing medical care for pregnant women and newborns with coronavirus. "At the pregnancy planning stage, it is important to get vaccinated.
