COVID-19 Vaccines and Axillary Nerve Dysfunction: A Case Report.

Area of Science:

• Neurology
• Immunology
• Vaccinology

Background:

• The global COVID-19 pandemic necessitated rapid vaccine development and deployment.
• Neuritis and neuropathy are known potential side effects of intramuscular injections, including influenza vaccines.

Observation:

• A case study involving a 43-year-old female patient is presented.
• The patient developed symptoms related to the axillary nerve following COVID-19 vaccination.

Findings:

• The patient experienced axillary nerve symptoms, consistent with vaccine-induced neuritis/neuropathy.
• The case documents the patient's recovery from these neurological symptoms.

Implications:

• This case highlights a potential neurological side effect of COVID-19 vaccines.
• Further research into vaccine-associated neurological complications is warranted.
• Understanding these adverse events is crucial for vaccine safety monitoring.
