According to the Technical Guidelines for COVID-19 Vaccination (First Edition) issued by the National Health Commission, women with pregnancy preparation plans do not need to delay their pregnancy plans because of COVID-19 vaccination, which includes test tube babies. Therefore, COVID-19 vaccine can be inoculated before IVF. However, the editor of the 592 Baobao website for women who are already in the ovulation promotion stage suggests a temporary suspension of vaccination.

Although the vaccination of COVID-19 vaccine does not affect the preparation of test tube babies, due to the physical problems of some people, fever and other maladaptive reactions may occur after vaccination, so the adverse reactions after vaccination may have a certain impact on the treatment of test tube babies in the cycle, such as ovulation promotion, egg retrieval, transplantation, etc. Therefore, experts from CITIC Xiangya Reproductive Genetics Hospital suggest that patients who are preparing for IVF pregnancy should complete the COVID-19 vaccination before ovulation induction or half a month before frozen embryos enter the week. Note that vaccination of COVID-19 vaccine does not affect the use of down-regulation drugs.

After the vaccination of COVID-19 vaccine, it is necessary to ensure that there is no fever, rash and other special discomfort before starting to promote the discharge plan. If there is no discomfort after less than half a month of vaccination, and there are special reasons for rushing to the week, it may be considered to advance the week after communicating with the doctor. But for the sake of safety, try not to advance to the week.

Can I get vaccinated when entering the test tube cycle?

So, can patients who have started treatment and entered the test tube cycle still be vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine? Due to the lack of research evidence on the impact of COVID-19 vaccine on human reproductive system, gametes and embryos. It is recommended that patients who have entered the IVF treatment cycle should postpone the vaccination of COVID-19 vaccine. After treatment, COVID-19 vaccine should be considered.

According to the president of the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University, Academician Qiao Jie, chairman of the Reproductive Medicine Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, published Expert Suggestions on Preparing novel coronavirus Vaccine for Pregnancy and Assisted Reproductive Technology in the Chinese Journal of Reproduction and Contraception in April this year, suggesting that treatment should be considered after the immune response is stable one month after vaccination. Couples who experience serious adverse reactions after vaccination and vaccination need to suspend treatment in a timely manner.
