Alopecia areata is a possible risk of COVID-19 vax, dermatologists report
Dermatologists have treated two women with alopecia areata, adding to growing reports of hair loss following vaccination
Dermatologists have flagged alopecia areata as a possible COVID-19 vaccine adverse effect after treating two young women who suffered total hair loss soon after being immunised.
In one case, a 23-year-old patient presented with local hair loss, one week after receiving her first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine, say Dr Azam Mosavi, from the Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in Iran, and colleagues.
