Irritation on vaccination site after 3 weeks

[maria40]

I had my Covid vaccination nearly 4 weeks ago now and have just begun to have irritation on the vaccination site. No inflammation, no redness. It just feels like a midge bite. Anyone else experienced this?

I used to give all sorts of vaccines and it did happen occasionally.

Thanks. It seems to have diminished now to an occasional tickle but I was just curious.

My arm started to feel a bit heavy and tender after 2 weeks. Nothing before. Not that impressed if it is a reflection of my immune system fighting back!!!

I'm not too worried about the immune response aspect as I had a nasty two day flu like reaction starting 8hrs after vaccination. But I felt nothing in my arm until the last few days and that seems to be lessening now.

I had no reaction to mine until a week later. Arm became red an itchy and is still causing irritation over 2 weeks on.

I got a red lump after 9 days. Nothing before that. That grew rings like Lyme's and after 13 days was 6cm across. The redness has gone but there is a 2cm hard lump inside. No itching.

The tech who gave me the 2nd shot said that some people get a rash or irritation at the site several weeks after.
