Abstract

Abstract: The SARS‐CoV‐2 virus can trigger thyroid dysfunction. Thyroid dysfunctions after COVID‐19 vaccination have been rarely reported. We report the case of overt hypothyroidism in a 61‐year‐old woman seen after BNT162b2‐mRNA vaccination. This case underlines the fact that thyroid function should also be monitored after COVID‐19 vaccination, especially in at‐risk subjects.
