Authors' objectives:
To determine whether there is any evidence for the development of myalgic encephalomyelitis post-mRNA COVID-19 vaccination, particularly post-Moderna mRNA vaccination.
Authors' results and conclusions:
Twenty-seven published studies were identified from the above search. Upon examination on the titles and abstracts of these twenty-seven studies, three studies were thought to be relevant and were retrieved in full for further appraisal. No further study was identified from manual searches. No data supporting the development of myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome post mRNA covid-19 vaccination were reported by any of the three studies that were retrieved in full. At present, there is no published data to support the development of myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome post mRNA COVID-19 vaccination.
Authors' methods:
A comprehensive and systematic literature search was conducted on July 12, 2023. The search was done of commercial medical literature databases using a combination of key words.
