Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a novel infectious disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This disease caused one of the largest pandemics in human history. During the second COVID-19 surge, the Indian government faced the threat posed by the growing COVID-19 pandemic by informing citizens and encouraging the use of preventive measures such as face masks, hand sanitization, personal protective equipment, quarantines, and vaccination. Vaccination is an effective prophylactic intervention in public health, and COVID-19 vaccines have been developed to achieve immunity against viruses and stop the transmission of infection. However, vaccines have side effects, and by early 2021, many doubts arose regarding COVID-19 vaccinations. Few people were not taking immunization because post-immunization adverse events were reported. We are reporting a case of seizures after immunization with Covaxin.
2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)是由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)引起的一种新型传染病。这种疾病引发了人类历史上最大规模的大流行之一。在第二波COVID-19疫情高峰期间,印度政府通过向公民通报情况并鼓励使用口罩、手部消毒、个人防护装备、隔离和疫苗接种等预防措施,应对不断加剧的COVID-19大流行带来的威胁。疫苗接种是公共卫生领域一种有效的预防性干预措施,并且已经研发出COVID-19疫苗以实现对病毒的免疫并阻止感染传播。然而,疫苗存在副作用,到2021年初,人们对COVID-19疫苗接种产生了许多疑问。由于有接种后不良事件的报告,很少有人不进行免疫接种。我们报告一例接种科维希疫苗(Covaxin)后发生癫痫发作的病例。
