The side effects of the COVID 19. Vaccination may include flu like mild symptoms, pain and mild swelling at the injection site. The duration of these symptoms typically resolves within 48 hours. Discuss an antihistamine with your physician to control allergy symptoms if the symptoms continue.

No, it is not early. The side effect is usually occurring in the first couple hours if you are allergic to its component. Pain at injection site, fever and body ache will occur after 6-8 hours if you have the common side effects. You can take antihistamine medication such as Benadryl or Allegra if you are uncomfortable with those allergic symptoms. However, call 911 if you develop dyspnea.
