COVID‐19 has a wide spectrum of clinical severity and there is evidence that SARS‐Cov2 affects several organs and systems. Among the organs affected since the beginning of the pandemic, the relationship between SARS‐CoV‐2 infection and thyroid involvement has been demonstrated. Novel and highly effective messenger RNA and DNA‐based vaccines have been rapidly developed to decrease SARS‐CoV‐2 morbidity and mortality. Early after mass vaccinations, cases of thyroid dysfunction mainly including episodes of subacute thyroiditis, began to be reported like adverse effects. The objective of this study is to determine the impact of the pandemic, both due to SARS‐CoV2 infections and vaccinations, on the incidence of Graves' disease (GD).
