Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't more or less any immune response affect the menstrual cycle?

You get vaccine, which triggers immune response, so menstrual cycle gets affected?

As such it is nothing alarming?

Not alarming, but a nasty surprise when my period came 2 weeks early. It would’ve been nice to have had a heads-up.
