Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. Case Presentation. A 42-year-old female, with a past medical history of stage IIIB pT3N1aM0 right adenocarcinoma of colon status, after right hemicolectomy on 01/2020, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, iron deficiency anemia, chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, and lumbar radiculopathy, presented to our clinic with anterior neck pain that started 6 days after the second dose of Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. She was diagnosed with subacute thyroiditis and treated conservatively with pain medications. Conclusion.
