Relapsing polychondritis after <scp>COVID</scp>‐19 vaccination
Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare inflammatory disorder involving immune-mediated destruction of cartilaginous structures. Herein, we present the first report of a strong association between COVID-19 vaccination and RP development. Clinicians should be aware that RP is among the autoimmune diseases that can develop after mRNA vaccination.
