Recent reports have indicated a potential connection between LU and COVID-19 vaccination, particularly after the second or booster doses. This study presents a case of LU following the first dose of tozinameran in a young woman who had a previous SARS-CoV-2 infection and investigates similar cases globally. An 18-year-old woman experienced vulvar pain and ulcers 2-days after her initial COVID-19 vaccine dose. After ruling out infections through serological tests, a diagnosis of LU was made, and her symptoms resolved after 10 days. A literature search and VigiBase® analysis revealed 11 cases of LU following COVID-19 vaccination, and 519 vulvovaginal ulcer cases associated with these vaccines were identified in Vigibase®, with a median onset of 2 days. Most LU cases occurred after the second dose or booster shots. The primary hypothesis for this association is a type 3 hypersensitivity reaction mediated by immune complexes, possibly triggered by prior exposure, as many cases occurred after the second dose. Interestingly, the presented case suggests that prior COVID-19 infection could serve as sensitization. In conclusion, this study highlights the potential occurrence of LU after the initial COVID-19 vaccine dose in young patients with prior COVID-19 infection.
