Covid-19 vaccine?

I had both shots. The last one was March 12th. Never had any reactions! Now I am having aches in the area down my upper arm. I do work and use my arm. I am right-handed and I have a bad right shoulder and I have been using my left arm more, but the aching is right where he gave me the injection. The first injection didn't hurt but the second one was not fun, and was in a different area! Should I be concerned?

Your complaints may not be related to the vaccine.
Thanks for the question. See your doctor. The contents of the vaccine are not likely the problem, but the shot itself can hit a nerve or cause a sterile abscess (collection of inflammation).
I wish you the best.
