POST-VACCINATION DYSTROPHIC TOENAILS

A middle-aged female presented with dystrophic toenails. She relates that she had COVID back in May with no cough but had a 103 degree fever for 2 days. She has the antibodies to COVID. She took the first dose of the Moderna vaccine about two weeks ago and got fever, chills, and pains in her leg that felt like they were "shooting out of her toes." 

 

Post-vaccination Dystrophic Toenails

 

Her symptoms lasted for two days. She had no trauma to the toenails, and did not change footgear. She is healthy with no meds and no allergies. There is no pain associated with the nail beds, and the rest of the nail seems to be attached to the nail bed. She contacted the CDC before the nails had this deformity, and is going to contact them again. Has anyone else seen this?
