Shoulder injury related to COVID-19 vaccine administration: a case report
Abstract
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.xrrt.2021.10.005 2666-6391/© 2021 The Authors. Published creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). With the rollout of the most ambitious worldwide vaccine initiative of all time to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, the medical community has been faced with more challenges than ever before. Vaccine hesitancy has been among one of the leading threats to the global vaccination effort,10 and this is presumably due to concerns with vaccine side effects. As side effects are encountered, the health care community has a duty to quickly disseminate these risks to try and mitigate their potential harms. One of the most common side effects of all intramuscular vaccines is a transient local inflammatory reaction, which is maintained in the novel COVID-19 vaccination.10 Less common, however, are reactions known as shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA), which have only recently been described in mRNA vaccines. We will be presenting a case of SIRVA in a young healthy health care worker as a result of inappropriate site of administration of the Moderna vaccine.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
