mRNA COVID-19 vaccinations are not associated with RVO development 21 days and 12 weeks after vaccination

Case reports have speculated if COVID-19 vaccinations may be associated with retinal vascular occlusions (RVO). Specifically, previous literature speculated an increased risk of RVOs days to weeks after vaccination. After reviewing two recent analyses, mRNA COVID-19 vaccinations do not appear to inc...

Description
Summary:Case reports have speculated if COVID-19 vaccinations may be associated with retinal vascular occlusions (RVO). Specifically, previous literature speculated an increased risk of RVOs days to weeks after vaccination. After reviewing two recent analyses, mRNA COVID-19 vaccinations do not appear to increase the risk of RVOs at 3 and 12 weeks post-vaccination. Although both studies had different designs, mRNA vaccines do not appear to influence the risk of RVO development.
