8.7.2021 – I developed a stye that has lingered for several months but i don't believe this is related to the vaccine. The ophthalmologist stated he believes i have rosacea.

3.11.2021 – Shoulder where I received the injection almost feels like I injured it. Im guessing I perhaps did injure it when dealing with my muscle soreness from a previous workout. Thinking the muscle soreness could have been exacerbated by the shot but was not caused by the shot. Arm injury is not related to the shot, if I had to guess
