Rejected petition List longer/heavier/more painful periods as a Covid vaccine side effect.
List longer/heavier/more painful periods as a side effect for all Covid vaccinations. Many women are experiencing this and it is causing them great concern as it is not listed as a side effect & these are also symptoms of major health conditions such as cancer.
More details
The Astrazenca vaccine now has blood clots listed an official side effect due to blood clots found in those who had the vaccine. However, longer/heavier/more painful periods also seem to be affecting many people and yet this isn’t listed as a side effect, which is leading to health anxiety as women were not aware that this can happen and only find out through social media and friends.
