Lab data

I was symptom-free when I received my vaccine and within 24 hours of receiving my COVID-19 vaccine I started hives and within 48 hours I had facial swelling so bad that I was not recognizable in the mirror and within 72 hours I still have some flushing in my face and neck and ongoing symptoms. Urgent care doctor assessed me on 1015 in the clinic and attributed my obvious symptoms as a reaction adverse event to the COVID-19 vaccine and that I had received.
