COVID-19 vaccine and hepatitis: A mini review

Abstract

An efficient vaccine is urgently required due to the high death rate and quick spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Several reports on the side effects of the vaccine have focused on the negative effects of the COVID-19 inoculation. Clinical hepatology is quite concerned about the liver issue that manifests after receiving the COVID-19 vaccination. The COVID-19 vaccination may result in a variety of clinical problems, including hepatitis. Regarding the underlying pathogenesis, the autoimmune pathological process is usually mentioned. Immunopathological processes are likely to be implicated in the COVID-19 vaccine-related hepatitis, despite the fact that the exact cause is yet unknown.
