Description

Abstract: Commonly reported adverse effects of vaccine administration include localized erythema, pain, lymphadenopathy, myalgias, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, fever, and in extreme cases, anaphylaxis. Myocarditis, pericarditis, and thrombosis have been reported as rare side-effects of COVID vaccine administration.3 Here, we present the case of a 74 year old male, who reported the onset of persistent dysgeusia and hyposmia shortly after receiving the Moderna COVID mRNA vaccine.
