Women are more likely to experience side effects from the COVID vaccine than men. Fun!
A new study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) concluded that women are more likely to experience side effects after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. According to the study “First month of monitoring the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine” published last month, 79% of reports of the most serious symptoms caused by the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines came from women. The month-long study followed the first 13,794,904 Americans who received the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, looking at how they responded to vaccines from December 14, 2020 to January 13, 2021. People reported symptoms using the adverse event reporting system vaccine, or VAERS, during the study; the VAERS system also monitored the effect of the vaccine on the body. During this period, the most common side effects reported were headache, fatigue and dizziness, in addition to 62 cases of anaphylaxis. One hundred and thirteen deaths in total were also reported by the end of the study, including 78 among residents of participating long-stay institutions. At the end of the study, it was discovered that the side effects of the vaccine were reported overwhelmingly by women. Only 62.1% of the actual study participants were women. Experts pointed out the differences in the immune system between men and women as the reason why one sex reported more symptoms. “We see more autoimmune diseases in women than in men and we know that the effects of pregnancy on the immune system can be significant,” David Wohl, MD, an infectious disease physician at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine, said the ABC7 on Saturday. He also explained that women are more likely to report their symptoms to a medical professional than men. Microbiologist and immunologist Sabra Klein, PhD, who works at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, echoed the “sex difference” in how people are affected by vaccines in The New York Times earlier this month, saying it was “completely consistent with previous reports of other vaccines. “She also noted that” it is important to prepare women so that they can have more adverse reactions. This is normal and probably reflects the functioning of their immune system. “Since the end of the study, the COVID vaccine -19 from Johnson & Johnson obtained approval for use in the United States, and AstraZeneca is applying for approval in April.Vaccine eligibility currently varies by state, but many frontline workers, civil servants and other civil servants and people over 60 are among those who receive priority. President Joe Biden announced earlier this month that all adults in the United States they would be eligible to be vaccinated by May 1, in an effort to get the country back to “normal” by July 4.
