A member asked:
Got the covid vaccine today and im coughing is this normal? been about 12 hours since i got it?

Cough alone is not a typical symptom of Covid. Unless you have fever and or shortness of breath on walking, you do not have Covid infection. If such symptoms develop in the next few days, get to see your PCP for further evaluation and a PCR test can be used to verify infection with COVID. Right now, you have little reason to worry about it. Cough may settle down on its own.
