A member asked:
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.
