She received the vaccine in her left arm. Her left arm, the whole arm, swelled and she couldn't move her wrist. Face was puffy too. Arm was now sore, but not as swollen. She was not talking about at the injection site, but the whole forearm. It was getting a little better. The patient woke up with Typical stuffy nose and cough on Friday. She expected that.

Sunday morning, she woke up and her left side, down by her breast down her side and to her underarm had a huge swollen area. Huge swollen area down left side.

With the severity of the first shot she didn't feel it was safe to get the second shot.   No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
