Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration Following Misplaced SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Abstract

SIRVA cases may occur and should be suspected in all individuals without a history of shoulder symptoms or dysfunction who experience sudden pain and reduced ROM following deltoid muscle vaccination. Treatment must be initiated early with corticosteroids and rehabilitation. The low probability of this complication does not outweigh the advantages of vaccination.
