description BACKGROUND: Herpes zoster is a reactivation of varicella zoster virus infection. We presented this case since it occurred after the receipt of Covaxin vaccine. There are few case reports of herpes zoster after the receipt of COVID-19 vaccine in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION: We presented a case of herpes zoster in a 72-year-old lady after she received the first dose of the vaccine for COVID-19. She had post-herpetic neuralgia. CONCLUSION: It is evident that VZV reactivation is one of the untoward events of the COVID-19 vaccine. However, it is wise to do large epidemiologic studies to check how common herpes zoster is after the receipt of COVID-19 vaccine.
