Abstract

Vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT), a rare but life-threatening complication of adenoviral vaccination against COVID-19, has been reported almost entirely following the first dose. Krzywicka and colleagues report on 124 patients with VITT in a multinational registry diagnosed after dose 2; no specific events were observed after dose 1. These patients had early presentation, and two of the patients died.
