Key findings in plain English:
  • Immune dysfunction and resultant multi-system inflammation is likely to be a cause of COVID vaccine adverse events
  • This is similar to the cytokine storm observed in severe COVID
  • While COVID vaccine adverse events are rare in comparison to severe COVID events, they have a large effect on health and quality of life for those affected
  • Overall nutrition and key micronutrients are integral to immune modulation and inflammatory control
  • Micronutrient insufficiency might predispose people to a greater risk of COVID vaccine adverse events

​COVID-19 vaccine adverse events, while rare, provide severe debility for some people. Micronutrients are known to be key regulators of immune and inflammatory processes and therefore, insufficiency of one or more micronutrients might predispose someone to a higher risk of COVID vaccine adverse events. This case study explores the hypothesis that micronutrient insufficiency might be a factor contributing to COVID vaccine adverse events.
