INTRODUCTION:
Vaccine-related adverse events are fairly common and generally mild, including transient pain, redness, and edema at the injection site[1], fever, fatigue, and myalgia[2]. Apart from these, the COVID-19 vaccine has also been reported to cause a few rare and life-threatening adverse reactions like thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome[3], Guillain-Barré syndrome[4], vasculitis[1], autoimmune hepatitis[5], inflammatory myopathies[1] and myocarditis[6], which are now thought to be caused by immune-mediated mechanisms. With 28 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine being administered daily, the reporting of such rare adverse events is essential not only for a better understanding of its pathogenesis but also to aid clinicians in promptly recognizing the symptoms and effective management.
