Relapse frequency following SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations [a] in total and among [b] male and [c] female people with multiple sclerosis. The Venn diagrams show the numbers of PwMS (total, men, women) with relapses following the first SARS-CoV-2 vaccination (deep pink circles, N=88), following the second vaccination (light pink circle, N=62) and within the year prior to the first vaccination (yellow circle, N=347). Overlaid areas show intersections between patient groups, e.g., in total, there were nine patients that reported relapses after both vaccinations.

MS – multiple sclerosis

N – number of patients

p – p-value

PwMS – people with MS
