Abstract
The advent of COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has resulted in over 541 million cases with 6.32 million deaths worldwide as of June 2022. The devastating consequences of this global pandemic resulted in the expedited generation of mRNA-based vaccines such as the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines. Although the vaccines have been effective, with recent data indicating greater than 95% effectiveness, rare complications have been reported, including manifestations of autoimmune phenomena. Herein, we report a rare case of Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) in an active duty military male soon after receiving the first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
