Women have reported early and heavier menses after the vaccination, something that has not been linked with the vaccines yet but experts in countries like Israel are looking into it.
The Oxford/AstraZeneca jab has been administered on more than 700,000 Kenyans since March 5. Among side-effects include blood clotting in some parts of the world, though this has not been reported in Kenya.
Of the people vaccinated, over 300,000 or about 44 per cent are women, and Dr Nelly Bosire, a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologists says the jab’s side- effects on women’s menstrual cycles have been happening but not being reported.
