Symptom narrative

Following the 1st dose (May 7th at the doctor's office) I developed a big rash on my right arm that started small a day after the vaccination and grew worse over the course of a week. The morning after the 2nd dose at pharmacy, I had EXTREME nausea for about five hours, a headache, fatigue and chills, and welts had started on my arm. A day later (today), the welts are growing. Areas are starting out red, followed by some of the areas raising into welts. None are closer than a few inches from the injection site, and they are not painful or itchy.
