Does COVID-19 Vaccination Disturb Menstrual Cycling?
Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines have been reported to have a short-term effect on the menstrual cycle, delaying the onset of the next menses. However, the analytical methods that have been used to study this are subject to a statistical phenomenon called "length-biased sampling" that calls the results into question. Those data are important and should be reanalyzed in an unbiased way.
Keywords: COVID-19; length bias; vaccination.
