We are working on a study of menstrual cycle day and experiences of side effects after vaccinations in hope to empower women through knowledge of which days of the cycle may tend to have more side-effects due to fluctuating hormones in the normal cycle. Our pilot study revealed cycle days 8-10 may be of higher risk for side-effects if vaccination takes place on these days. This information can help women in planning vaccination on other cycle dates as women are often behind in careers and the primary care givers at home and cannot afford a valuable “sick day.” We will continue with this research by increasing our sample size over the spring with the motivation to help empower women caregivers and in their careers in a world where annual vaccinations (i.e. flu or covid) is the norm.
