Shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after COVID-19 vaccination

CONCLUSION: SIRVA should be regarded as an under-reported, significant cause of post-vaccination morbidity.

Additionally, standardization and proper education regarding injection technique and appropriate needle length is imperative to reducing harm.PMID:35817645 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2022.06.002
