Several Israeli women who received the coronavirus vaccine have posted on social media in recent days that they had been experiencing irregular menstrual cycles and abnormal vaginal bleeding.
The Health Ministry received similar reports from 13 women saying their period came early, while others reported irregular bleeding between their menstrual periods.
The Health Ministry s vaccine monitoring committee discussed the issue on Wednesday and said it would follow up on the issue to understand whether a connection does exist between the vaccine and the reported phenomena.
Vaginal bleeding was not a side effect reported in Pfizer s clinical trials, and until several days ago, no such incidents had been reported since Israel s vaccine campaign kicked off in late December.
