The Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has stated that “there is not enough evidence” to defend that there is a causal relationship between the Covid vaccines and the cases in which some inoculated women suffered alterations and delays with menstruation.

Lack of menstruation is the absence of bleeding for a period of 90 days or more, according to the EMA. The Committee (called PRAC) has evaluated the data and cases of amenorrhea reported in Europe by women who were vaccinated with doses of Pzifer or Moderna. The main conclusion is that “the available data do not support a causal association and an update of the product information for either of the two vaccines”.

In any case, the EMA has explained that the PRAC “will continue to carefully monitor this issue” and has asked Moderna and Pfizer to also study this issue on their own. Also, the Committee “continues to evaluate” cases of heavy menstrual bleeding with these vaccines.

In addition, the UK Medicines Regulatory Authority (MHRA) states that current evidence does not support a relationship between changes in menstrual periods and vaccination against covid-19 in this country, and continues to advise that anyone who notices a change in their periods that persists for several cycles, or who has new vaginal bleeding after menopause, be treated according to standard clinical pathways.
