Vaccine-related side effects are common. Usually, pain, edema, redness and tenderness may be seen at the injection site. Symptoms such as fever, fatigue, myalgia may occur. The coronavirus 2019 disease (Covid-19) has affected many people around the world. Although the vaccines that have been used play an active role in the fight against the pandemic, adverse events still continue to be reported. We present a 21-year-old patient who was diagnosed as having myositis after receiving covid vaccine with complaints of pain in her left arm two days after the 2nd dose of BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 vaccine, followed by inability to stand up from sitting and squatting and difficulty in going up and down stairs.
