Symptoms (1)

Rash

Symptom narrative

Patient stated her arm swelled up near injection site and beyond and she experienced a rash on her arm, up her shoulder and a little on her neck post-vaccination. She proceeded to take benadryl OTC and she mentioned this to me when I saw her a week later. The rash was still visible but the patient said it was noticeably better from when she received the vaccine. I still told her to follow up with her primary care physician as her reaction seemed to be more severe than what is listed in the manufacturer package instructions.
