A lot of interesting things in the abstract - I thought the average age being 32-35 across the samples was interesting.
They also can't speak to causality - there's a difference between those that do and don't choose to get vaccinated, and a lot of the variables that influence that decision (education, income, age) are also known to influence pregnancy outcomes. That's probably why they talk about no evidence of increased risk, even though they found a slightly protective effect.
Regardless its a comforting result for people that are currently pregnant - my wife got the vaccine during pregnancy and we did fine, but this SR would have provided some additional comfort to the decision.

I have close friends who recently got married. She works as a nurse and there was a lot of tension with her work because she was concerned about fertility and the vaccine. It was a situation that really made me re-evaluate mandatory vaccinations for work. This study (while not necessarily about fertility directly) would have been useful to allay fear
