Accruing real-world data confirm that SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is not associated with stroke

Since its outbreak in December 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has infected 770,563,467 individuals worldwide, while almost 1% of them had died due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) [1]. Despite this ordeal, it seems that the humanity was able to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic, with the World Health Organization declaring on May 5th, 2023 the end of COVID-19 as a global health emergency. It is without doubt that the large-scale implementation of vaccination programs against SARS-CoV-2, with more than 5 billion persons being vaccinated with at least one dose worldwide [1], has been instrumental in preventing SARS-CoV-2 infections and severe COVID-19, and, ultimately, in controlling the pandemic.
