Symptom narrative

Fever, chills, and body aches that began approx 17 hrs after injection and lasted about 12 hours; 48 hrs after injection I developed itchless, flat, red spots on my legs that increased in number and density over the next several weeks. Visit and testing by dermatologist Dr. on 6/17, confirmed Leukocytoclastic vasculitis without any underlying immune/disease condition. Suspected the reaction was a response to the vaccine. 7/15/25-just completed 15 day course of steroids which calmed the reaction. The spots have mostly subsided with just a few small new ones.
