@merpreb I did contact my doctor's office and they will schedule an appointment to discuss this. On the 2nd day after the shot when the initial steroid and anti histamine treatments wore off, I did have puffiness and some tingling in my face. After taking an antihistamine, that got better right away. Today, 5 days after, I don't have symptoms and my arm isn't sore anymore. I will see what the doctor thinks about the 2nd dose. Thanks for asking.

Jennifer, glad you got the aftercare! Sounds like an ordeal. I hope you get the answers from your MD. It would be interesting to see if after the one dose you create enough antibodies fir defense against the virus. Best of luck on this.
