Large bilateral subungual haemorrhages and hematomas were observed in an adult woman after receiving the second dose of a mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. Improvement was achieved after a course of prednisone. Unusual, rare cutaneous adverse effects are likely to be increasingly noticed as the accelerated massive worldwide COVID-19 vaccination campaign intensifies.
