Since the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, the development of vaccines for passive immunization against SARS-CoV-2 has been a great scientific achievement. However, all these vaccines have been rarely related to neurological adverse events. We present an extremely rare case of a 39-year-old healthy male adult who developed an immune-mediated adverse event of a small fiber neuropathy and radiculopathy post-anti-COVID vaccination with Oxford-Astra Zeneca Covid-19 vaccine. Despite this rare adverse event, we underline that both at an individual and a population level, the benefits of COVID-19 vaccination far outweigh the risks of a neurological complication.
