Sex Differences in Serious Adverse Events Reported Following Booster Doses of COVID-19 Vaccination in Thailand: A Countrywide Nested Unmatched Case-Control Study.

ABSTRACT: A booster dose of a COVID-19 vaccine has been proven effective in restoring vaccine effectiveness and is currently recommended for use in some populations at risk of severe COVID-19 infection. Since sex differences in adverse events are significant in response to the vaccines, the safety of booster selection must be studied to avoid serious adverse events (SAE), such as life-threatening diseases. First, this study aimed to identify sex differences in SAE incidences using a prospective cohort design. Second, a nested unmatched case-control study was used to identify factors associated with reported SAE within 30 days after the booster shot. Multivariable logistic regression indicated the adjusted odds ratio by accounting for host and vaccine variables, thus, policy effects. The findings con
