I went on King5 News with Steve Bunin to discuss the connection between COVID vaccine and menstrual cycles. It’s not surprising that women report an irregular cycle after receiving the vaccine since the menstrual cycle is a delicate balance between hormonal and immune systems. The effect is similar to a cycle changing with travel, a stressful event, or an illness. Unfortunately menstrual cycles were not tracked in the vaccine trials like other symptoms and vital signs - but they should be.
