    Free text: I just typed a lot and lost it. In a nutshell, yes I want to add something. Forgive me for not having any other organisation to vent to, but thank you for any attention given-and the work that you do. I appreciate you. To start, I had a pretty bad reaction to my 1st dose, which caught me by surprise after hearing that I would only have to worry about my 2nd dose giving me any side effects. It has been the opposite for me. I am just now (since late yesterday) having any side effects from my 2nd dose. I was terminated from my job due to being so sick with a fever (my thermometer broke, but I was boiling my husband told me), extreme lethargy, dizziness, arm pain so bad I couldnt life my arm, dizziness, etc. I could not go into work and was sick for at least 36 hours with all but fever, which lasted through the night and morning following my injection. I needed my job, loved my job, and now have to figure out what to do and why I lost my job over doing the right thing to protect myself and all around me. Is this so rare that i am the only employee to be terminated for being out of work after receiving my 1st dose? Please give me some sort of peace over this unfairness. Thank you!

    MedDRA: Asthenia, Dizziness, Lethargy, Loss of personal independence in daily activities, Nausea, Pain in extremity, Pyrexia, Rash erythematous, Rash pruritic — Feeling: Good · Site: Pain, Redness, Itching · Joint pains, Muscle or body aches, Rash, not including the immediate area around the injection site · Be unable to do your normal daily activities
    Free text: Today the soreness I have been experiencing for the past 3-4 days seems to be less. The red rash inside my elbow seems to be growing smaller. I am unable to use my arm the way I could before this developed, but I am not worried that it wont return to normal in the next few days. I am still trying to understand why this has developed after having no side effects until several days after my 2nd dose, when almost every other person with similar issues experienced it after their 1st dose. Is this rare that I had much worse side effects like fever, nausea, dizziness, lethargy & not much ability to do anything but stay in bed following my 1st dose for at least 24 hours, rather than having it after my 2nd dose & having nothing much in the way of side effects until 4-5 days after my 2nd and feeling so much soreness in my arm, no strength, with a red itchy rash inside my elbow that is still here & has been for 4 days? I am trying to learn more about COVID arm & the reasons I may be dealing with this. Please let me know if you have any additional information on what my experience is with it and why so I can know for future health concerns. Thank you.

    Free text: I still have some discomfort in my arm (the arm in which I received both doses). I havent complained about it due to thinking it would go away, but it has been over 1 month since my 2nd dose and I still have issues with my arm being sore.

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".
