Özet

Global vaccination programs are essential in order to achieve herd immunity and to minimize the risks of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 infection. The side effects of the CoronoVac coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine have not yet been fully reported. Olfactory dysfunction is a characteristic finding of COVID-19 infection. To the best of our knowledge, olfactory dysfunction following CoronoVac COVID-19 vaccination has not previously been observed. We report a case of such dysfunction developing following CoronaVac COVID-19 vaccination.
