    ABSTRACT: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has spread rapidly worldwide. To prevent its spread, mRNA-based vaccines made by Pfizer/BioNTech (BNT162b1) and Moderna (mRNA-1273) have been widely used, including in Japan. Various adverse events have been reported following the COVID-19 mRNA vaccination, with differences observed among individuals. However, analyses of the genetic background associated with the susceptibility to side effects have been limited. In the present study, we performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for self-reported adverse events of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccination in 4545 Japanese individuals and identified 14 associated loci. Among these, 6p21 was associated with 37.5 °C or higher fever, 38 °C or higher fever, and muscle pain. HLA allele as
