A member asked:

I have had a headache for 6 days now. it is finals week and could easily be a tension headache, but i also got the j&j vaccine. normally i wouldn't be too concerned and just get over it, but i don't want to take any chances. should i go to the doc?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The blood clots in veins draining the brain that have occurred after J&J vaccination are exceedingly rare, the odds being 1/500000. However for peace of mind, consult a physician or a neurologist for evaluation and advice.
