| Immunocontraception is the use of vaccines in order to cause temporary infertility. |
Immunocontraception involves the administration of a vaccine that induces an adaptive immune response which causes temporary infertility.
The techniques are anything but new. Contraceptive vaccines have been used in numerous settings. Human experiments abound.
An extensive overview on human research dating back to the 1970s and now (2021) being approved in India can be found on https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Immunocontraception&oldid=1042082027
Antisperm contraceptive vaccines
There is even a peer reviewed journal dedicated solely to the subject of Immunocontraception. The American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, states in a paper called Antisperm contraceptive vaccines: where we are and where we are going?:
"The population growth and unintended pregnancies are major public health issues worldwide."
"almost any antibody/immunoglobulin can affect sperm function and fertilization to some degree"
"Their contraceptive effect in vivo is being investigated."
"There is variability of immune response among individuals after any vaccination." (first sentence in section Passive Immunocontraceptive)
"Even injection of Freund’s adjuvant alone, especially the complete, without any sperm antigen can cause some degree of antifertility effect"
"This work has been supported over the years by funds from the NIH and several other agencies."(emph. added)[1]
