description The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic seems to have been overcome and replaced by other issues that influence risk perception, communication, and behaviour. However, for some people, the aftereffects continue to reverberate, either because they suffer from “long COVID” or from side effects of the COVID-19 vaccination. The aim of this article is to examine the experiences of patients in Germany who attribute health problems to COVID-19 vaccination. A literature search was conducted using four search engines, but no publications were found that shed light on this topic. This indicates that there remains a gap in the research landscape. The discussion considers what factors might influence patient experience and what factors might contribute to the lack of research on this topic.
