Distinct glomerular disease association after vaccination with BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273: A Vigibase analysis

With the worldwide rollout of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines, numerous reports of de novo or relapsing glomerular diseases have been published recently (1-4). It has been stressed that associations between vaccination efforts and onset of disease do not prove causation, but administration of vaccines and induction of an immune response might trigger disease activity.
