We presented this case since it occurred after the receipt of Covaxin vaccine. There are few case reports of herpes zoster after the receipt of COVID-19 vaccine in the literature.Case Presentation: We presented a case of herpes zoster in a 72-year-old lady after she received the first dose of the vaccine for COVID-19. She had post-herpetic neuralgia.Conclusion: It is evident that VZV reactivation is one of the untoward events of the COVID-19 vaccine. However, it is wise to do large epidemiologic studies to check how common herpes zoster is after the receipt of COVID-19 vaccine.Keywords: herpes zoster, vaccine, COVID-19, EthiopiaMuhie OAAdera HTsige EAfework ADove Medical Pressarticleherpes zostervaccinecovid-19ethiopiaMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Medical Case Reports Journal, Vol Volume 14, Pp 819-821 (2021)
