The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has contributed greatly to morbidity and mortality worldwide. The production of COVID-19 vaccines has been tested for efficacy and safety via clinical trials. However, false information on the side effects of the vaccine has been spread via social media, creating fear of vaccination. Currently, the vaccine has been falsely reported to cause infertility in women of reproductive age and miscarriages in pregnant women. There is no evidence to support this information as the COVID-19 vaccines have been clinically approved for safety. Furthermore, pregnant and lactating women were not included in the clinical trials. Therefore, the objective of this report is to raise awareness that the rumours on the vaccine are false and to encourage every individual to accept the vaccination for their safety and the safety of their loved ones.
2019 冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行极大地导致了全球的发病率和死亡率。COVID-19 疫苗的生产已经通过临床试验进行了疗效和安全性测试。然而，社交媒体上却传播了有关疫苗副作用的虚假信息，造成了人们对接种疫苗的恐惧。目前，有虚假报告称该疫苗会导致育龄妇女不孕和孕妇流产。没有证据支持这一信息，因为 COVID-19 疫苗已经在临床上被批准为安全。此外，孕妇和哺乳期妇女未被纳入临床试验。因此，本报告的目的是提高人们对疫苗谣言的认识，并鼓励每个人为了自己和亲人的安全接受疫苗接种。
