Systemic inflammatory response to COVID-19 can rarely trigger pericarditis. In our case, a strong temporal relationship between the second dose of BNT162b2 vaccine and symptoms occurrence was documented, indicating a possible rare adverse reaction to the vaccine, similarly to natural infection. Further research is needed to confirm a causal relationship.
