A prospective evaluation of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine on glycemic biomarkers in type 2 diabetes mellitus in Ethiopia

Abstract

The Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine was associated with short-term RBS fluctuations and a sustained increase in HbA1c levels in T2DM patients. These findings highlight the need for personalized glycemic monitoring post-vaccination. Despite these metabolic variations, the vaccine's protective role against severe COVID-19 outweighs transient glycemic disturbances. Incorporating vaccination efforts into comprehensive diabetes management is crucial, and additional studies are warranted to investigate the underlying biological mechanisms.
