    Free text: Yes, about 5 minutes after I had my first injection on Friday, March 26, I began to feel my throat going numb. It wasnt swollen, I had no racing pulse or wheezing at all, so I waited at the clinic to see if the symptoms continued. Gradually, my tongue became numb, then my lips , and then the left side of my face. Still no swelling or anaphylactic type symptoms. The paramedics there had me wait an hour, checking me the whole time. Eventually, feeling in my throat improved and I went home and took 50mg Benadryl. By evening all feeling had returned except a small area on my face and the tip of my nose. By morning it was normal. My doctor has recommended that I take 50mg of Benadryl just prior to getting my 2nd shot and have my husband with me in case of a more serious reaction.

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".
