Abstract: Pulmonary embolism is a medical emergency. Most common risk factors-immobility, malignancy, pregnancy, surgery, cigarette smoking, hypertension, obesity and in Indian population hyperhomocysteinemia. COVID infection represents a prothrombotic state but introduction of COVID vaccines to a lesser extent increased the risk of unprovoked venous thrombosis and pulmonary thrombosis.

Keywords: COVID vaccine, pulmonary embolism
