Dose-response Study a Glucoside- and Rutinoside-rich Crude Material in Relieving Side Effects of COVID-19 Vaccines

Since the outbreak of Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19), the size of the infected population continues to expand, and the number of deaths due to the infection continues to climb. Massive vaccination has become the most critical measure to control the pandemic. Vaccination may cause side effects. Urgent vaccine development plus the characteristics of the coronavirus have caused the relatively more safety problems in COVID-19 vaccines than other classic vaccines and unavoidably raises more concerns among those who accept or consider to be vaccinated. Mulberry juice consists of a large amount of anthocyanin. The abnormally high interleukin-17A level is frequently seen in patients with inflammation status or diseases with inflammation features. Previous cell and animal studies have shown that some specific anthocyanins can reduce cyclooxygenase and nitrogen oxide, and the pharmacological effect of the major anthocyanin in mulberry juice imitates that of interleukin-17A antagonists. These features make mulberry juice a potential crude material for reducing inflammation and pain induced by COVID-19 vaccinations. The investigators propose a randomized control trial investigating the dose-response effects of three different volumes of mulberry juice on the incidence and severity of COVID-19 induced side effects and build up initial dose-response models for future reference in nutrition supplementation in COVID-19 vaccinations and improve public coordination of COVID-19 vaccinations.
