Abstract

Primary and booster vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 are the most effective methods of preventing infection and are generally considered safe. However, many cutaneous adverse events have been reported following vaccination. To date, there have been seven reported cases of Sweet syndrome occurring after the first dose of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. We describe a rare case of atypical giant-cellulitis like Sweet syndrome reemerging after receiving the SARS-CoV-2 booster vaccine.<br />Competing Interests: Conflict of interest: the authors declare no conflict of interest.
