Reactivation of Herpes Zoster Virus After COVID-19 Vaccination: Is There Any Association?
Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 disease, COVID-19 infection, is a multi-system illness that has afflicted people all over the world. A number of vaccines have been produced to combat the current COVID-19 pandemic, and a variety of side effects have been recorded following the vaccination. However, there are limited data on the negative effects of immunological reactivation following vaccination. We report 10 incidences of herpes zoster reactivation within 7-21 days of getting the COVID-19 vaccination. Transient immunomodulation following vaccination, similar to that seen in COVID-19 illness, could be one explanation for this reactivation. These cases highlight the significance of continuing to examine vaccine safety during the COVID-19 pandemic's ongoing mass vaccination campaign. We also underline the importance of peripheral health professionals in the management and reporting of any vaccination-associated adverse event.
