A delayed side effect in the form of skin inflammations was revealed after vaccination against coronavirus with the American drug Moderna. A study by American physicians is published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The published footage shows red rashes in patients.
“We report 12 patients with similar reactions, all of whom appear near the injection site after the local and systemic symptoms associated with vaccination have completely resolved,” the study said.
Doctors clarified that, on average, rashes appear on the eighth day after the first dose of the drug. In some patients, traces appeared on the fourth day. Despite the side effects, experts convinced patients to get a second shot, after which only three people experienced skin inflammation of the same intensity. Three more had a milder reaction, the rest tolerated the vaccine painlessly.
