ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine (so called AZ vaccine), is widely used to prevent the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and shows powerful effectiveness to deter community transmission. There are common immunogenicity-related side effects such as fever, myalgia, lethargy, and headache; however, rare report on the neuropsychiatric problems (Ramasamy et al., 2021). In Taiwan, more than 15,200,000 doses of AZ vaccine were injected by the end of 2022. Here we presented a unique case with separated episode of Ekbom's syndrome, also called delusion of parasitosis, and mania following successive AZ vaccination in three-month interval.
