Your covid vaccine should not still be causing pain 6 months after the injection. Yes you should see your doctor about it. Some imaging may be considered to rule out retained foreign body. I hope this problem can be resolved soon.

It is very unusual for ANY vaccine to cause swelling and tenderness for that long- 6 months ! Suspecting infection. Best to get evaluated by your PCP to get proper treatment and care and correct diagnoses.
