Abstract

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) systemic viral syndrome responsible for an ongoing global pandemic. COVID-19 has led to high morbidity and mortality worldwide. The absence of immunity in the population could be susceptible to new waves of COVID-19 infection. The effective equipment to prevent this pandemic is the development of a potential vaccine against the disease. CoronaVac (Sinovac Life Sciences, Beijing, China) is an inactivated vaccine alternative against COVID-19, that has shown immunogenicity with vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies to SARS-CoV-2. Nowadays, we have few reports about this vaccine, due to a short time of development. Currently, we report a case of 29-year-old Thai female with the developing of morbilliform rash on the face and chest 40 minutes following the first dose vaccination.
