Abstract

Mass vaccination has been the main policy to overcome the Covid-19 pandemic. Several vaccines have been approved by the World Health Organization. With growing vaccination, safety concerns and adverse events that need prompt evaluation are also emerging. Herein, we report a case of a healthy woman with longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis after vaccination with the AstraZeneca vaccine. The patient was successfully treated after ruling out all the possible causes. © 2022 The Author(s). Published with license by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
