Study: common chemicals could weaken vaccine power
NCT ID NCT06588530
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether exposure to PFAS chemicals (found in some water supplies) can weaken the body's immune response to the tetanus and diphtheria booster vaccine. Twenty adults from a community with known PFAS exposure received the vaccine and had blood and saliva samples taken over 30 days. The goal was to measure antibody levels and see if higher PFAS levels led to lower protection.
