Yes. I had been hesitant to get the last COVID booster but this study pushed me past my indecision. I’d be curious if other vaccines like the Flu or pneumonia vaccine also do the same. But maybe it’s just the RNA type.
I do know that vaccines can cause lymph nodes to flare. It is recommended to wait 6 weeks before getting a mammogram or MRI. And always tell the radiologist about recent vaccine history.

Good point about lymph nodes. I'm getting all my inoculations on the other side from the breast cancer--otherwise I think I'd worry a lot if there was swelling on the cancer side.
