Ischemic stroke after AstraZeneca (Covid-19) vaccination

Saudi Med J. 2021 Oct;42(10):1136-1139. doi: 10.15537/smj.2021.42.10.20210326.ABSTRACTVaccination against SARS-COV-2 is considered an effective preventive strategy to halt COVID-19 pandemic. Reports of thromboembolic events in vaccine recipients has jolted some of the European countries to pause the vaccination process temporarily. It is still unclear whether the events are actually due to the vaccines or it is just a coincidence. The gravity of events particularly in young and previously normal patients merits further research to reach some conclusion. Here we present a similar case who sustained ischemic stroke shortly after receiving the first dose of his vaccine.PMID:34611009 | DOI:10.15537/smj.2021.42.10.20210326
