Dear Editor:

We would like to share ideas on the publication “Subacute thyroiditis after anti-SARS-CoV-2 (Ad5-nCoV) vaccine.1” Rebollar reported a case and mentioned for possible clinical association between thyroid problem and COVID-19 vaccination.1 Thyroid problem might be followed vaccination and the pathogenesis is still inconclusive. Regarding subacute thyroiditis, there are sporadic case reports in COVID-19 vaccine recipients.2,3 The observed thyroid abnormality might or might not be associated with vaccination. After vaccination, the abnormal thyroid function might occur and it is not related to any immunological abnormality.4 Hyperviscosity might occur after vaccination4 and it can result in an aberrantly thyroid function.5
