Health authorities are working to dispel misinformation that COVID vaccines could affect fertility, as vaccine hesitancy amongst young women continues to rate above the national average.


Melbourne Institute research shows women between the ages of 18 and 44 are the country's most reluctant demographic to get the shot.
The beginning of the vaccine-fertility relationship can be traced back to early last year, after a small number of women reported changes in their menstrual cycles after receiving a dose of the vaccine.
Infertility claims later surfaced online but were quickly refuted by medical experts.
