Side effects
Mild side effects are normal signs your body is building protection, and they usually go away after a few days. The chance of a severe reaction is less than 0.5%. To be safe, your provider will have you wait on-site for 15-30 minutes after your shot.
COVID ARM: A NEWLY REPORTED DELAYED REACTION RASH
Common reactions after receiving the Moderna vaccine include injection site soreness, general fatigue and headache. These symptoms usually resolved within 2 to 3 days.
A delayed reaction that appears as a red, sometimes bumpy rash on the arms of people who received the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine was recently reported in the New England Journal of Medicine. This bumpy rash may be limited to the arm or extend onto the torso. The reaction generally occurs near the injection site 4 to 11 days after the first dose, and after the initial local and systemic symptoms associated with vaccination have resolved.
Exactly why this is occurring with the Moderna vaccine is uncertain and experts say it is certainly NOT a reason to avoid getting vaccinated, with the Moderna vaccine or any other COVID vaccine approved for emergency use, for that matter.
Several patients who experienced this rash were successfully treated with over-the-counter anti-histamines, topical and oral corticosteroids.
V-safe: Register with CDC’s V-safe After Vaccination Health Checker on your smartphone to report any side effects after getting the COVID-19 vaccine. You’ll also get reminders for your second vaccine dose.
