No significant differences were observed in the number of oocytes received, number of mature oocytes, and fertilization rate when comparing individual woman before and after vaccination (each participant served as their own control). In addition, no significant differences in embryo parameters were observed. In a subset of participants (n=15), there were no significant differences in the number or percentage of clinical pregnancies. To account for effects of sperm on fertilization, only patients undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection, a process where a single sperm is injected into a mature egg, were considered.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Safrai et al.\u00a0(June 1, 2021).
