Abstract

CCOVID‐19 Vaccines are currently the leading approach for combating the pandemic's advance. Despite, their protective effect has been frequently addressed but little knowledge is available regarding menstrual changes after the covid-19 vaccine. Aim: The study aimed to assess menstrual changes associated with COVID-19 vaccine among adolescent females. Design: A descriptive comparative cross-sectional study. Sample: A convenient sample of 412 adolescent females applied in Beni-Suef City through social media such as Facebook and WhatsApp groups. Tools: Data were collected using three online questionnaires including 1) Socio-demographic characteristics 2) Assessment of menstrual characteristics 3) Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Results: The current findings indicated there were non-significant statistical differences between both vaccinated and non-vaccinated groups which mean that both groups had similar demographic characteristics. The mean age for vaccinated group was (21.48±2.27) while for nonvaccinated was (21.31±2.38). Conclusion: The present study showed that COVID-19 vaccine is associated with a small change in menstrual cycle. The majority of vaccinated group had delay in the date of menstrual cycle, on the other hand, about two thirds of non-vaccinated and about three quarters of vaccinated group had between 9 and 12 spontaneous menstrual cycles per year. So study recommended: Further studies are needed to determine an association between the Covid-19 vaccine and menstrual changes.
