Claims the Pfizer vaccine for Covid-19 is making women’s breasts grow larger have been brushed off by New Zealand’s Ministry of Health.

Many women have taken to social media to report their breasts and lymph nodes had “swollen” after receiving their jabs, dubbing the effect the “Pfizer boob job”.

But a Ministry of Health spokesman said MedSafe had advised there had been no reports of breast enlargement in people to date and it was not a known side effect of the vaccine.

However, TikTok user Elle Marshall is among a number of social media users who have claimed to have seen an increase in their breast size.

In her TikTok video, which has racked up 1.9 million views, she said she had gone up two cup sizes, from an A to a C.

“I feel like my boobs got bigger because of Pfizer or am I just hallucinating” and “I can confirm from personal experience that Pfizer does indeed make ur boobs grow”, others wrote on Twitter.

“Can confirm that the Pfizer vax makes ur boobs grow ffs,” another said.
