I called the medical person back over and he got the EMT who called his boss and called an ambulance to come. By the time the ambulance got there, the rash was going down and dissipating. I called my allergist office who told me that as long as it was only a rash that was going down, I could opt to go home. My breathing was fine. I opted to go home and telehealthed with my allergist in the after noon. He told me to take a zyrtec to be covered for 24 hours with allergy meds.

I was completely disoriented and had not recollection of hitting the gas or break much less driving.  I was told two times that the driver in the other car was fine and was told when asked a third time that he did have some pain possibly and went in the ambulance to get checked out.

Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: Injection site erythema, Injection site pruritus, Injection site reaction, Injection site warmth, Skin reaction
Clinical narrative: I had the second Covid-19 Moderna injection on 3/13. Three days later I woke up with "Covid arm." Palm-sized red warm spot 3 inches below injection site, which sometimes itches. Benadryl cream helps. Online news indicates it is rare, usually showing up 7-10 days after 1st injection, with fewer having it after the second. So my pattern is rarer still in that it began after the second shot but came 3 days after.  I was relieved that it is not serious and will go away on its own. If science learns more that has implications for future injections, I'd appreciate being informed. Thank you.
