Critical care management of COVID–19 infection in previously vaccinated patients – a case series

Abstract

Vaccination against COVID–19 has made significant contribution in reducing the severity of the disease and the mortality worldwide. Although most of the vaccinations have been reported to be safe and without serious side effects other than mild to moderate pain at the vaccination site, occasional reports of developing overt viral disease after the vaccination have emerged. We report a case series of four cases, who developed symptomatic COVID–19 following vaccination. We describe the clinical features and intensive care management of these patients.
