Abstract
The virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose unmatched challenges in the world. It can cause systemic inflammation, which can lead to multiorgan involvement and subsequent damage. The relationship that possibly exists between the COVID-19 infection, the newly developed vaccines, and thyroid disease are still under extensive investigation. We are reporting the first case of new-onset graves' disease in a young, healthy man after COVID-19 infection and receiving a COVID-19 vaccine dose.
