Abstract
Vaccines are the predominant biological management measure for controlling the COVID‐19 pandemic, and aim to break the chain between disease status and hospitalisation. Unseen or rare side‐effects are being reported via the COVID‐19‐specific Yellow Card reporting site, including mania, psychosis and encephalitis of various subtypes. This article presents a patient displaying a range of psychiatric pathologies that occurred within 10 days of AstraZeneca COVID‐19 vaccination and resolved spontaneously without antipsychotic medication. The possibility of a vaccine‐related autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is tentatively raised.
