Symptom narrative

I think this is my third Novavax dose to date--first in over a year-- and I'm very grateful to finally be able to access it as I think this is easier on my immune system than the mRNA options and both are much easier than any of my COVID infections!!! I'm reporting mild breast pain on the side of the injection site that is migrating under /around my breast while laying on my side. I wouldn't have reported it had the onset been quicker but it only appeared tonight over 48 hours later and bc of my high family history for breast cancer I was initially alarmed. I assume it'll go away soon. I still love this vaccine and consider it mild; just want to improve the VAERS dataset with an honest experience.
