Should I consult my family doctor? Is it recommended to take the 2nd dose despite these symptoms? Is there any hope that they will go away?

Question

I have tingling, numbness and loss of sensation in my hand and foot following the 1st dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, received 12 days ago. Hello, It's unilateral (on the side of the injection site) and more constant for a few days. The pain in the arm lasted 3-4 days after the shot, then turned into numbness & tingling in the hand, then the foot on the same side. It will be 14 days tomorrow. Thanks for your reply

Hello, Is it unilateral or bilateral? Intermittent or constant? All these symptoms at the same time or does it vary? For how long? And does it persist? An adverse event report should be filed. A medical consultation would probably be advised before the next dose. In the meantime, you can get advice from 811 Hoping this is helpful, I wish you a good day.
