Free text: After both vaccines my ears randomly feel popped, sort of like when you go on an airplane but a little different. My significant other felt the same thing but much worse and the pain moved down to his jaw. It happened the following days after getting the vaccine. Im reporting that here because he was not given the chance to participate in V safe but I think since we have the same symptom it should be noted

Each entry is dated by the survey it was written in (the CDC re-sent the releases with survey dates in 2025); click a date to see that survey response. The CDC cut some text off at about 250 characters: symptoms in every release, and the other two fields in releases 9-12. Those entries are marked "cut off by CDC".
