Symptoms: Heart rate increased, Migraine, Pruritus, Pyrexia, Urticaria
Clinical narrative: Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine  I spoke with the nurses regarding previous vaccine reactions, and we all agreed that I would take Benadryl first, and then get the vaccine. However, about 5-10 minutes after I got the vaccine, I began feeling very itchy, which is usually a precursor to when I develop hives. The nurses kept a close eye on me and got my vitals. They said my pulse was a little high, but that I was ok to go, since I had stayed my 30 minutes afterward and my vitals were ok. Throughout the day, I became even more itchy, and that night, I had hives everywhere, a low grade fever, and a migraine like headache. Because I did not have an itchy throat, and I have developed these symptoms before with the flu vaccine (and other allergies), I did not go to the doctor. The side effects took about a day to a day and a half to go away.

Symptoms: Myalgia, Paraesthesia, Swelling, X-ray
Clinical narrative: At 4hrs post vaccination experienced extreme muscular pain between shoulder blades. The following week, as far as I can recall, I began to have tingling from the right shoulder blade down to my hand. I thought I may have a pinched nerve and went to the walk in clinic to be seen by the nurse practitioner that is in the same office as my primary. She examined me and thought it sounded like a pinched nerve and said I was swollen in the area of complaint. Cervical and thoracic x rays were taken (normal) and was told to take Flexeril and steroids. Pain was getting worse and primary told me to  begin taking  Meloxicam and have physical therapy. I have been doing both beginning 1-11-2021. Pain continues with no  improvement. Do not know if my symptoms are caused from the Covid shot, but just seemed to me that it was quite a coincidence that muscle pain began on the same day as receiving the shot.
