According to Larry Schlesinger, MD president, and chief executive officer of the Texas Biomedical Research Institute in San Antonio, women tend to have to develop stronger immune responses to vaccines, and there’s a scientific response behind it all.
As Schlesinger has explained, estrogen prompts the body to generate more T-cells, which often leads to a stronger response when it comes to the vaccine as well. He also added that these harsh responses haven’t applied just to the COVID-19 vaccine, but rather to all ranges of vaccines, including the flu yellow fever, and DTP shots as well.
As Sabra Klein, PhD, microbiologist, and immunologist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, shared with The New York Times, this is actually not surprising at all. “This sex difference is completely consistent with past reports of other vaccines,” she continued saying.
