Q: is it normal for your arm to bruise from the covid vaccine? also is it normal to develop adverse reactions 3 days later? or are you in clear after that period?

: A vein or major capillary plexus can sometimes pierced during the shot so it will cause a bruise after the vaccination. There are reports of some late but not serious reactions after a couple days such as erythema, itching, etc.
