Abstract

Inflammatory diseases of the retina and choroid (chorioretinitis), including those of toxoplasmosis etiology usually occur against a background of decrease in immunity. We present two clinical cases of ocular inflammation at different times after the vaccination with “Sputnik V”. An analysis of the occurrence of ocular pathologic condition after vaccination to prevent coronavirus infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus will help determine the criteria for prophylactic ophthalmological examination of patients before vaccination.
