SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is the most powerful and promising tool against the COVID-19 pandemic. Millions of people have been vaccinated worldwide. Recently, few cases of subacute thyroiditis following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination with various types of vaccine have been reported. We describe here a 36-year-old woman who presented with subacute thyroiditis 10 days after she had received her first dose of the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine Comirnaty (Pfizer/BioNTech); the condition receded but then recurred 10 days after she received her second dose. As vaccination programmes proceed, clinicians' attention and vigilance for such cases will be increased. Physicians need to know that subacute thyroiditis is a mild and self-limiting condition in the majority of cases. Last but not least, the benefits of vaccination against COVID-19 outweigh the side-effects reported so far.

Objective: Subacute thyroiditis (SAT) is a painful inflammatory disorder of the thyroid gland, which - after a phase of thyrotoxicosis - leads to transient, or less frequently permanent hypothyroidism. Apart from a strong association with specific HLA alleles, the causes are uncertain. Viral disease has been hypothesised as a trigger, with Enteroviruses, namely Echoviruses and Coxsackieviruses, showing a seasonal distribution that coincides with the incidence of SAT.

Subacute thyroiditis (SAT) is an inflammatory thyroid disease characterized by neck pain, tenderness, general symptoms, and thyroid dysfunction. Despite gaining new insights into the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and treatment of SAT in recent years, the exact pathogenesis and determinants of its clinical progression remain unclear. Here, we profiled thyroid in situ protein alterations in fine needle aspiration biopsy samples from SAT patients using proteomic analysis and uncovered 57 differentially abundant proteins.

Article Synopsis
- - This study explored the possible link between COVID-19 vaccinations and thyroid issues, particularly thyroiditis, using data from over 7.5 million adults and adolescents in Korea.
- - Results indicated a slight increase in the risk of hypothyroidism exacerbation after vaccination, but not for other thyroid conditions like hyperthyroidism or thyroiditis in both adults and adolescents.
- - Overall, the findings suggest that COVID-19 vaccinations are generally safe for thyroid health, with the exception of a noted risk for worsening hypothyroidism.
