In this study, the investigators will explore the effect of the BNT162b2 COVID-19 Vaccine on semen analysis parameters among 75 fertile men. Fertile men will be regarded as such if they previously successfully impregnated their partners without the use of artificial reproductive technology, or men who previously had a normal sperm analysis exam by WHO criteria (2010).

Those recruited will supply a single sperm sample 1-2 months following the second dose of the vaccination. In addition, the participants will fill a brief questionnaire with information regarding their medical and reproductive history.

The investigators will examine the macroscopic and microscopic properties of the semen samples and compare them to the WHO semen analysis reference range in an attempt to ascertain whether the vaccine influences sperm parameters.
