No further causality assessments were provided for PAIN IN EXTREMITY (My arm gets very sore pretty quickly after receiving the vaccine), PAIN (I get very achy), ASTHENIA (It takes me a week or so to get back to my usual energy level), PRURITUS (even scalp and after a day it fades to look like a mild sunburn and gets itchy because it dries out my skin.), NAUSEA (I felt a bit nauseous on and off), PYREXIA (run a temperature of 100.5) and HEADACHE (I have a bit of a headache).
