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.
