Symptom narrative

About an hour or so after vaccination, I felt burning stings on my left shoulder, down my trunk left side and then across my back. It was an experience similar to being bitten by fire ants. Large welts came up like insect bites across all those referenced sites. I removed clothing and showered in case it was insects. Needle prick sensation and welts continued for about 90 minutes. I took 2 antihistamine tablets and some tylenol which helped. 2 days later, those welts are still visible and remain a little itchy. Antihistamines continue to help.
