Does anybody experienced arm swelling after vaccination?
Just got my first Covid-19 vaccine shot on friday and it caused a red lump where I got my shot?

One... you are not an idiot the one that wrote that is.
Two... A normal reaction to any vaccine is local red spot at injection site. It should subside in a few days.
Three.... Anyone who has a "worse experience " with one flu shot I sure hope reported it to their physician which is what one is suppose to do if they are following doctors orders and not Dr. YouTube/ Internet

It is not uncommon. Hopefully the swelling will go down soon and you won't develop swelling any place else. My son had swelling around his heart. Not pleasant. It lasted well over a week before eh went to the hospital for confirmation. He has an appointment with a cardiologist in a few weeks so we will soon find out.

@WonderfulOne Almost. From the web:
[quote]The Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine uses a chimpanzee common cold viral vector known as ChAdOx1, which delivers the code that allows our cells to make the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.[/quote]
Like J&J, AstraZeneca took an existing harmless virus, and modified its genetics to make spike protein. The injection then infects you with that still harmless virus, which, as it multiplies, helps you build anti-bodies to the spike protein.

I haven't taken the shot. Not planning to. I had a worse experience taking a flue shot 6 years ago. I don't want to meet that same fate ever again
