For HBV, staff and uninfected partners should receive vaccination to reduce the risk of infection. Approximately 90% of adults who are vaccinated produce a protective antibody response. HBV vaccination should be provided to neonates born to HBV‐positive women. Unfortunately, there is no effective HCV vaccine, although HCV antiviral therapy is now proven to be highly effective in eradicating HCV infection.

Importantly, precautionary measures should be implemented in ART laboratories to reduce the risk of transmission of HBV and HCV to technicians handling infective gametes and embryos. Similarly, protective measures should be taken to reduce the risk of cross‐contamination of HBV or HCV during cryopreservation of samples and embryos.
