Researchers have identified 14 safety signals for the COVID-19 vaccines for women of childbearing age, including menstrual abnormality, miscarriage, and fetal cardiac arrest, according to a study released on Sept. 28.

Dr. James Thorp, a maternal fetal medicine specialist in Florida, and other researchers performed a type of analysis called proportional reporting ratio (PRR) on reports submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). The system accepts reports of adverse events following vaccination.
