Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a highly contagious infectious disease, has had a catastrophic effect on the world's demographics resulting in more than 2.9 million deaths worldwide till January 2021. It can lead to systemic multi-organ complications; in particular, venous and arterial thromboembolism risk is significantly increased. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurs in 22.7% of patients with COVID-19 in the ICU and 8% in non-ICU hospitalized patients. Studies evaluating thromboprophylaxis strategies in patients with COVID-19 are needed to improve the prevention of VTE. VTE is the m ost commonly reported thrombotic complication, with higher incidence rates among critically ill patients. Several vaccines have been licensed and are currently used to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, several cases of vaccine-induced thrombosis have been reported. Vaccination remains the most critical measure to curb the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a broad consensus that the benefits of vaccination greatly outweigh the potential risks of rare vaccine side effects, such as vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT). Therefore, the importance of vaccination should be emphasized. This statement aims to focus on VITT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
