I didnt get a bandaid after receiving my covid vaccine administered by a cvs pharmacist. does this mean my vaccine could have leaked out? do i need to worry about the effectiveness of the vaccine since i didnt get a bandaid?

You've asked this question before and the answer is still the same... no worries. The vaccine will not leak out of your arm.

The bandaid is provided if there is leaking blood after the injection, to prevent soiling of your blouse or other clothing. CVS did perform properly, and you have had vaccine injected. If you are worried, find a counselor and discuss your concerns.
