Sumario:The brachial plexus injury is a rare complication after vaccination like that of the Influenza virus. Though a well-known and reported complication, there is still a dearth of literature mentioning its pathophysiology, the trend of involvement, symptoms, and treatment. This has also been reported after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. To the best of our knowledge, to date, only four cases have been reported so far. Every case needs to be reported to better understand the complication and formulate a line of management for better outcomes. We report a case of brachial plexus involvement after Covishield vaccination with complete recovery after treatment.
