These risks need to be kept in perspective - for example, the overall risk of early miscarriage is one in 5, and if your BMI is over 30 the risk is one in 4. If you don't want to become pregnant, it's important to find a contraceptive method that suits you.

This is not the case. We have put the following factsheet together to address some of the concerns and misconceptions about the vaccines.</strong></p> 2006<ul> 2007<li>Getting the COVID-19 vaccination as soon as you are eligible will protect you and help to protect your friends, family and loved ones. The COVID-19 vaccine should also help reduce the rates of serious illness, therefore reducing pressure on the NHS.</li> 2008<li>The vaccines approved for use in the UK have met strict standards of safety, quality and effectiveness set out by the independent Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).</li> 2009<li>Any coronavirus vaccine that is approved must go through all the clinical trials and safety checks all other licensed medicines go through. Safety data has been gathered from trials involving participants from diverse racial, ethnic and geographic groups.</li> 2010<li>Other vaccines are being developed. They will only be available on the NHS once they have been thoroughly tested to make sure they are safe and effective.</li> 2011<li>So far, millions of people have been given a COVID-19 vaccine and reports of serious side effects, such as allergic reactions, have been very rare. No long-term complications have been reported.</li> 2012<li>There is no evidence to suggest that Covid-19 vaccines will affect fertility, and no biologically plausible mechanism by which current vaccines would impact upon your fertility. </li> 2013<li>COVID vaccines are now recommended for pregnant women, please speak to your midwife or GP for more information</li> 2014<li>Evidence so far reviewed by the MHRA has raised no concerns about safety in pregnancy. Women who were vaccinated before they knew they were pregnant should not be alarmed. </li> 2015<li>If an unplanned pregnancy is otherwise wanted, there is no reason to consider termination due to vaccination before a pregnancy was recognised.</li> 2016<li>The vaccines do not contain any meat derivatives or porcine products or material of foetal or animal origin. </li> 2017</ul> 2018<p><strong>If you need further information or have any concerns about the vaccine, talk to your GP as soon as you can.</strong></p></span> 2019 </dd> 2020 </div> 2021 </div> 2022 </dl> 2023 </div> 2024 </div> 2025</div> 2026 2027 </main> 2028 <footer class=""> 2029 2030 2031 2032<section class="o-s o-s--bg o-s--fixed-cta" data-layout="FixedCTA"> 2033 2034 2035 2036<picture class="o-picture"> 2037 <source type="image/webp" 2038 srcset="/media/hdin0dlp/bpas_25_04_23_0015.jpg?mode=crop&center=0.5%2c0.5&width=1920&height=1280&rnd=1920_1280_0.5_0.5&format=webp&quality=67 1920w, /media/hdin0dlp/bpas_25_04_23_0015.jpg?mode=crop&center=0.5%2c0.5&width=1200&height=800&rnd=1200_800_0.5_0.5&format=webp&quality=67 1200w, /media/hdin0dlp/bpas_25_04_23_0015.jpg?mode=crop&center=0.5%2c0.5&width=900&height=600&rnd=900_600_0.5_0.5&format=webp&quality=67 900w, /media/hdin0dlp/bpas_25_04_23_0015.jpg?mode=crop&center=0.5%2c0.5&width=760&height=506&rnd=760_506_0.5_0.5&format=webp&quality=67 760w, /media/hdin0dlp/bpas_25_04_23_0015.jpg?mode=crop&center=0.5%2c0.5&width=640&height=426&rnd=640_426_0.5_0.5&format=webp&quality=67 640w, /media/hdin0dlp/bpas_25_04_23_0015.jpg?mode=crop&center=0.5%2c0.5&width=480&height=320&rnd=480_320_0.5_0.5&format=webp&quality=67 480w, /media/hdin0dlp/bpas_25_04_23_0015.jpg?mode=crop&center=0.5%2c0.5&width=375&height=250&rnd=375_250_0.5_0.5&format=webp&quality=67 375w" 2039 sizes="100vw"> 2040 2041 <source srcset="/media/hdin0dlp/bpas_25_04_23_0015.jpg?mode=crop&center=0.5%2c0.5&width=1920&height=1280&rnd=1920_1280_0.5_0.5&quality=75 1920w, /media/hdin0dlp/bpas_25_04_23_0015.jpg?mode=crop&center=0.5%2c0.5&width=1200&height=800&rnd=1200_800_0.5_0.5&quality=75 1200w, /media/hdin0dlp/bpas_25_04_23_0015.jpg?mode=crop&center=0.5%2c0.5&width=900&height=600&rnd=900_600_0.5_0.5&quality=75 900w, /media/hdin0dlp/bpas_25_04_23_0015.jpg?mode=crop&center=0.5%2c0.5&width=760&height=506&rnd=760_506_0.5_0.5&quality=75 760w, /media/hdin0dlp/bpas_25_04_23_0015.jpg?mode=crop&center=0.5%2c0.5&width=640&height=426&rnd=640_426_0.5_0.5&quality=75 640w, /media/hdin0dlp/bpas_25_04_23_0015.jpg?mode=crop&center=0.5%2c0.5&width=480&height=320&rnd=480_320_0.5_0.5&quality=75 480w, /media/hdin0dlp/bpas_25_04_23_0015.jpg?mode=crop&center=0.5%2c0.5&width=375&height=250&rnd=375_250_0.5_0.5&quality=75 375w" 2042 sizes="100vw"> 2043 2044 <img src="jpg/bpas_25_04_23_00155307.jpg" 2045 alt="Reception staff at desk" 2046 loading="lazy" 2047 width="3000" 2048 height="2000" /> 2049</picture> 2050 <div class="o-w"> 2051 2052 <h2 class="o-s__heading">Our experienced advisors are ready to help you</h2> 2053 2054 2055 <div class="c-fixed-cta"> 2056 <div class="c-fixed-cta__body"> 2057 <div class="c-fixed-cta__item c-fixed-cta__item--primary"> 2058 2059<a class="c-button c-button--cta" 2060 href="index-76.html"> 2061 <span class="c-button__body"> 2062 2063 2064 <svg class="c-icon" aria-hidden="true" focusable="false"> 2065 <use xlink:href="svg/symbolse414.svg#icon--calendar-purple"></use> 2066 </svg>
