Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura following administration of the Moderna booster vaccine.

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a type of thrombotic microangiopathy that is characterized by microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia, consumption thrombocytopenia and organ injury. It is caused by a severe deficiency of ADAMTS13, which can be either congenital or acquired. There is a plethora of things that can cause the acquired form, including medications and infections. Vaccines have also been shown to cause TTP. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, with multiple new vaccines being developed and distributed to the masses, the medical community needs to be aware of adverse events associated with these new vaccines. We present a case of TTP following administration of the Moderna booster vaccine.
