Various neurological complications have been linked with vaccines ranging from encephalitis, stroke, ADEM to GBS and many more. Although both viral as well as bacterial vaccines have been reported to cause neurological adverse events, brachial plexitis following vaccination is very uncommon. Vaccination drive against COVID-19 was started on 16th Jan 2021 in India. Various adverse events have been reported following vaccination since then. We observed two cases of brachial plexitis following the first dose of the Covishield vaccine. Although the risk-benefit ratio is very low for the COVID-19 vaccine, it is of vital importance for every clinician to be aware of such a rare adverse event.
