description BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) vaccination has been progressing. The safety of vaccination during radiotherapy is not clear. CASE PRESENTATION: We experienced a patient who received a COVID-19 vaccine during radiotherapy. A 60-year-old woman with breast cancer underwent postoperative radiotherapy. She received two vaccine doses and she suffered from severe vertigo. Her radiotherapy was suspended for several days and the radiotherapy schedule needed to be changed. CONCLUSIONS: The association between vertigo and vaccination during radiotherapy is not clear. However, if the general condition of patients worsens, suspension of treatment might be necessary. Therefore, attention should be given to COVID-19 vaccination during radiotherapy.
