Symptom narrative

Patient noted that vaccine was painful at the time of administration. Shortly after administration, the injection site was red and hard to the touch. It got worse overnight and she developed a hard, red, inflamed area about 4 inches long underneath her deltoid to just above her elbow that wrapped the entire circumference of her arm. She reported that it was hot, red and hard to the touch. She also noted "bone pain" that extended from the top of her arm, into her elbow and down to her fingertips. The injection site pain dissipated, but the pain underneath her deltoid and in her bones worsened. She has full range of motion in her shoulder muscle, but has aching internally in her arm
