A member asked:

Asking for a family member. should you be concerned about unexplained bruising around the body after getting the covid vaccine? there was also bruising inside the mouth?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, would be concerned. Spontaneous bruising (occurring without an obvious injury) or bruising in the mouth CAN be a symptom of a low platelet count. Platelets are responsible for helping your blood to clot normally. Low platelets can (uncommonly) be caused by the coronavirus vaccine. Get a blood test (CBC) TODAY.
