Stromal rejection in penetrating keratoplasty following COVID-19 vector vaccine (Covishield) – A case report and review of literature

Abstract

Endothelial rejection has been described following both m-RNA and vector-based vaccines for COVID-19. There is one case report of a stromal rejection described following influenza vaccination. We report a case of stromal rejection following vector-based COVID-19 vaccination, which might be the first case reported so far.
