Vaccination Complications

Two days after my second of two COVID-19 vaccinations, my injection site is still quite warm and pink but it is no longer hard, red, and hot to touch. I think that it is diffusing and healing, not spreading, but unsure. With all the rumors and iffy reports of serious vaccination complications, I have been quite frightened. Now, not so much, as the kids would say.


Yesterday 1 called my medical network's COVID-19 Nurse Hotline, available 24/7, to report my symptoms of a hot, red, painful injection site, lethargy, and massive body pain; but I had a lot of difficulty getting the automated phone system to put me through to a human. I kept calling back until I guessed the right options for a human, but said human firmly informed me that she is NOT a nurse and could only put me into my primary care physician's eternal-hold autosys. After arguing without success to register my adverse symptoms with a human, I blurted out, "You medical kids are awful!" and hung up. Bad me?


I could report my adverse symptoms to Report an Adverse Event (hhs.gov), but I don't want to get on any adverse government list, who knows what that could mean in the future, in these uncertain times of government power grabs.
