Vaccine side effects

A friend told me temporary swelling of lymph nodes after the vaccine is not uncommon. Perhaps I should wait 6 weeks? But an abdominal mass of 4 inches is not like armpit swelling. Still, it's a good thing to keep in mind!

“The lymph nodes i
n your armpit area that we see on your mammogram are larger on the side where you had your recent Covid-19 vaccine. Enlarged lymph nodes are common after the Covid-19 vaccine and are your body’s normal reaction to the vaccine. However, if you feel a lump in your armpit that lasts for more than six weeks after your vaccination, you should let your health care provider know.”
