ABSTRACT
The adverse effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines are somewhat common but rarely life-threatening. Diagnosing life-threatening vaccine-related adverse effects is heavily dependent on history taking and ruling out the other possible causes. Vaccine-related complications vary, so awareness of possible complications can lead to efficient management. We present the case of a 58-year-old woman with a history of schizophrenia who received the COVID-19 Pfizer vaccine and developed severe rhabdomyolysis. She required renal replacement therapy and fully recovered with possible transient autoimmune activity. This case highlights the importance of early awareness of adverse effects following vaccine administration and careful history taking and monitoring to avoid life-threatening conditions.
