Menstrual cycle changes can be caused by many factors, like stress and changes in sleep, diet, environment and lifestyle, which are common during the COVID-19 pandemic. More research will be carried out to see if there is a link between COVID-19 vaccination and temporary menstrual changes.

However, experts agree you do not need to plan getting vaccinated around your menstrual cycle and the vaccine can be given safely while menstruating.

If you do experience a change in your menstrual cycle, this does NOT mean the vaccine has affected your fertility. It is safe—and recommended!—for people who want to become pregnant to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
