So, his concern was, is it somehow related to this vaccine, it has never happened to him. The bruise was getting bigger and bigger.

So, I will say may be." (hence, causality tab left unchecked as report was not sure)  Follow-up (11May2021): Follow-up attempts completed. No further information expected.
