Chinese COVID-19 vaccine named BBIBP-CorV (Sinopharm vaccine) is an inactivated whole virus vaccine to prevent COVID-19 disease. Previous studies concluded that inactivated COVID-19 vaccines do not increase the risk of thrombosis. In this report, we present the first upper limb DVT case after receiving this kind of vaccine.
