Additional information: Reporter had some side effects, to the extent where, she was no longer going to take the mrna vaccine. Clarified, there were 2 different side effects. There were 2 side effects, that would usually occur every time she got Covid vaccine, back in 2021, 2022, 2023. That is what reporter was guessing. This occurred when getting 2 dose primary series, occurring both with first and second doses, with third booster dose, got a little bit of it but, was not as much as first and second primary doses. Guessing about the 2021, 2022 and 2023. They were back to back. reporter were thinking it started with first Covid pandemic, which was back in 2020, did not remember if 2020 or 2021 but put 2021, 2022 and 2023, to the best of their knowledge. The lymph node enlargement required her to get a mammogram, and lasted about 6 months. Believes reporter recovered from it.
