We present a rare case of status epilepticus in a 56-year-old man which arose as a complication after vaccination with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA-1273 vaccine. The patient's history included well-compensated secondary epilepsy. The root cause of the situation was a fever which had developed as a side effect of the vaccination.
