Thrombosis post-mRNA-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccination (BNT162b2) – Time to think beyond thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS)

ABSTRACT

COVID-19 pandemic has affected the global socioeconomic and healthcare infrastructure. Vaccines have been the cornerstone in limiting the global spread of the pandemic. However, the mass scale vaccination has resulted in some unanticipated adverse events. Arguably the most serious of these has been the development of widespread thrombosis with viral-vectored vaccines. We present a case of extensive thrombosis associated with the messenger RNA (m-RNA) vaccine.
