We don't have a thread yet for Covid Vaccine Reactions so if you like, please share which vaccine you had and if you had reactions after shot 1 or 2.
I had my first shot today of Moderna and from the very start, probably 5 minutes in, I had neck tightness. I have a lot of allergies so I had the pink card to give to the paramedic to wait 30 minutes there at the clinic after receiving the shot. My jaw felt pressure at first and then it moved down toward my neck and then toward the bottom of the neck where my thyroidectomy scar is. I never had any airway issues and even with my mask on I could breathe comfortably. I think it's my lymph nodes that were fighting whatever was injected into my body.
The paramedic told me (when my 30 minutes was up) that I could talk fine so he knew I could breathe. He said if I felt like leaving I could since I had a driver and he recommended I take a Benadryl and have my husband monitor me for the next 4 hours.
I'm home now and had lunch and the Benadryl is working. The pressure/tightness moved to my ears but that's going away now.
