Abstract: A 47-year-old woman with body temperature 35.6 ℃ took the 3rd COVID-19 vaccine shot at our clinic on Day 1. Since she felt chills and suffered from genital bleeding on Day 3, she visited our clinic to take a gynecological examination. Her temperature was 37.1 ℃ at that time. On Day 15, she suffered sustained symptoms of chills and general fatigue, and she went to another internal medicine clinic to take a medical care. However, her condition was unexplained and she was referred to a general hospital. On Day 16, she came to our clinic to confirm results of the gynecological examination. Her symptoms persisted even though the data showed no problems, so we prescribed her saikokeishikankyoto (SAKK) for only 3 days. On Day 19, SAKK dramatically improved her symptoms. On Day 37, her temperature was 36.2 ℃ without any symptoms.
