Physicians should be alert about the possibility of subacute thyroiditis (SAT) being induced by COVID‐19 vaccination. SAT may present with anterior neck pain, extended fever or palpitation in recently vaccinated patients, which should not be easily dismissed as expected post‐vaccination flu‐like symptoms, thereby, facilitating in time diagnosis and treatment.
