Introduction:
Uveitis describes intra-ocular inflammation involving any ocular structure, related to either infectious or non-infectious etiologies. Non-infectious uveitis may be associated with systemic autoimmune diseases or be isolated to the eyes. Rarely, uveitis can be drug-induced. Vaccine-associated uveitis has been reported following different vaccines. It is mostly anterior, mild and resolves following topical treatment. Current medical recommendations are to receive timely vaccinations according to local guidelines. Uveitis patients and physicians should be aware of symptoms suggesting disease relapse.
