Infectious Disease Specialist Questions COVID-19 Vaccine

Covid vaccine side effects?

I have had the first covid jab, since then despite having no skin conditions prior I have dry spots on a varicose vein which my doctor has given me Betnovate ointment. Bad circulation runs in my family both father & grandfather lost their legs due to pure circulation due to smoking, but I have never smoked but still have poor circulation. Apparently, the pulse in both of many feet is good. My question is which my doctor fudged over if I have the second vaccine which is now overdue am I at more of a high risk of blood clots due to receiving the vaccine?

Male | 59 years old
Medications: None at the moment only as previously stated ointment
Conditions: Slightly high 6.5 cholesterol

Some people with COVID-19 develop abnormal blood clots, including in the smallest blood vessels. The abnormal blood clots are very infrequent that it could happen. Every single injection can cause blood clot formation. But it is minimal. Every person should use their judgment on how to proceed with this issue. If your Dr. fudged the question as I am with this comment is because every person reacts differently. I have had four COVID vaccine and not the had happened. But this is only my experience. Thank you.
Which vaccine did you have? Did you have any other reactions after the first shot besides what you mentioned?
