Abstract :n this study, a COVID-19 reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) positive case who died in the hospital with pneumonia after receiving two doses of inactive CoronaVac (Sinovac Life Sciences) vaccine is presented. A 67-year-old female patient, who was vaccinated with two doses of the Coronovac vaccine, was admitted to the emergency room (ER) with dyspnea and cough. There was a bilateral ground glass image on thorax tomography. The patient’s RT-PCR test was positive, and he was admitted to the hospital’s V-19 ward. The patient, who stayed in the service for three days, was taken to the intensive care unit after his clinical condition deteriorated; moreover, she died after 11 days in the intensive care unit. The expected protective effect may not be seen in old patients five days after two doses of vaccine. It would be appropriate for the vaccinated individuals to continue to protect themselves against COVID-19.
