One of our board members has experienced “covid vaccine arm” after getting her first dose of the vaccine. In some women, this reaction includes swollen lymph nodes in your armpit area. Because of this, some have recommended waiting four to six weeks after your final vaccine dose before having a mammogram. That way, any lymph node swelling caused by the vaccine has time to go away. We recommend consulting with your doctor, but wanted to spread awareness.
