Abstract
Deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) is a vascular condition that commonly presents in the lower limb(s). Although reported, its occurrence in the upper limbs is rare. Furthermore, problems with the risk of serious adverse effects in response to vaccination against COVID-19 are relatively rare, despite the unprecedented speed of vaccine production using advanced modern technology. Although infrequent, administration of certain mRNA-based and certain viral vector vaccines have been associated with vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia cases in an otherwise healthy patient: most commonly in the central venous sinus or abdominal splanchnic veins or lower limb. Here, we present an unusual case of post Janssen vaccination upper limb DVT, with an average platelet count.
