Abstract

We report a case of vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) in a 73-year-old gentleman who presented with pulmonary embolism and thrombocytopenia, two weeks after receiving inactivated COVID-19 vaccine. He responded well to nonheparin anticoagulation with complete resolution of symptoms and platelet count.
