description | Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a novel infectious disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This disease caused one of the largest pandemics in human history. During the second COVID-19 surge, the Indian government faced the threat posed by the growing COVID-19 pandemic by informing citizens and encouraging the use of preventive measures such as face masks, hand sanitization, personal protective equipment, quarantines, and vaccination. Vaccination is an effective prophylactic intervention in public health, and COVID-19 vaccines have been developed to achieve immunity against viruses and stop the transmission of infection. However, vaccines have side effects, and by early 2021, many doubts arose regarding COVID-19 vaccinations. Few people were not taking immunization because post-immunization adverse events were reported. We are reporting a case of seizures after immunization with Covaxin. |
