Core Tip

Core Tip: We reported the information of transient ischemic attack following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA vaccination in a pregnant woman. We also updated the information on vaccine-induced thrombosis caused by COVID-19 mRNA vaccination. Finally, since transient ischemic attack is a rare event associated with COVID-19 mRNA vaccination, vaccination should not be prohibited for pregnant women.
