Company Comment : This case concerns a 46-year-old, male patient with previous relevant medical history of use of concomitant medication sertraline, levothyroxine and amitriptyline, who experienced the unexpected event of hemiparesis. The events occurred on an unknown number of days after the second dose of mRNA-1273 Moderna vaccine. The rechallenge was not applicable since the events happened after the second dose. The medical history use of concomitant medication remains a confounder. The benefit-risk relationship of mRNA-1273 Moderna vaccine is not affected by this report.
