Abstract
Since December 2020, four vaccines for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have been developed and three have been approved for immediate use in the United States. Two are mRNA vaccines, while one uses a viral vector mechanism. There are reports of thrombotic complications following vaccine administration, which are primarily cerebral sinus thromboses following administration of the viral vector vaccines. Here, we are the first to report venous thrombotic complications within days of administration of the mRNA-1273 (Moderna) vaccine. We present a series of three women who developed venous thromboembolism (VTE) following mRNA-1273 vaccination at a single healthcare system.
Keywords: COVID-19; Venous thromboembolism; deep venous thrombosis; pulmonary embolism.
