(And how the NWHN Helped Make Them Happen)
With 45% of the US population vaccinated, many individuals have turned to the internet to share their vaccine side effects. Some women have reported experiencing increased cramping and abnormal period flows after being vaccinated. With many individuals experiencing changes to their periods, women across the United States are asking the same question: can the COVID-19 vaccine affect my period, and should I be worried?
The widespread nature of extended post-COVID-19 symptoms has led to the use of a new term, “long COVID-19.”
Women appear to be less susceptible to COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. But even as women face less risk from the disease itself, they face much more risk from the social and economic devastation that the disease has wreaked, highlighting the deep inequalities in our economic, social, and health care systems.
Long-standing systemic inequalities including racism and inadequate access to care have led to unconscionable health disparities during the Covid-19 pandemic.
