Suspected Diphtheria Toxoid and Tetanus Toxoid (dTdap) Booster Vaccine-Induced Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).

We describe a case of a 40-year-old South Asian woman who presented with symptoms suggestive of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) following a diphtheria toxoid and tetanus toxoid (dTdap) booster vaccination administered one week prior. The patient's POTS responded favorably to treatment with low-dose fludrocortisone and ivabradine. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for POTS as a possible vaccine adverse event (VAE) post-dTdap booster inoculation and be aware of appropriate management strategies.
