Abstract
COVID-19 has been linked to a number of cutaneous symptoms in COVID-19 patients. Although herpes zoster (HZ) was the first sign of COVID-19 infection in several patients, cases of HZ after COVID-19 vaccination are rare. Here, we report a case of 51-year-old male patient with herpes zoster after Sinopharm (Vero cell) vaccination.
