After the second dose, 82 percent of Moderna recipients experienced a
reaction at the injection site.
An April 5 study published in the Journal of the American Medical
Association (JAMA) found that the overwhelming majority€”82 percent€”of
Moderna recipients experienced a reaction to the vaccine at the site of
injection after the second dose. After the first dose of the vaccine, 74
percent of Moderna recipients reported an injection site reaction. These
reactions included pain, redness, swelling, and itching at the injection
site. Pain was the most common site reaction, with 78 percent of Moderna
recipients experiencing it after the second dose and 71 percent
reporting it after the first.
