Got the pfizer vaccine 2 days ago, now have developed a few purple petechiae spots on back and bruise on hip, could this be from the vaccine?

Q: got the pfizer vaccine 2 days ago, now have developed a few purple petechiae spots on back and bruise on hip, could this be from the vaccine?

: So far, there are no clear cut cases of coagulopathy or thrombocytopenia from this vaccine. But would not hurt to have your doctor do a CBC screen and/ or other hematological tests. But suspect this is due to superficial trauma and NOT the vaccine.
