    Hello @Jennijenni and a warm welcome to the community. 
    I haven't personally experienced this although I know some people who got some redness and swelling. If you're concerned about any symptoms then please do speak to your GP or a medical professional.

    Common side effects listed by the NHS are:
    • a sore arm from the injection
    • feeling tired
    • a headache
    • feeling achy
    • mild flu-like symptoms
    • feeling or being sick
    You can also find the patient leaflets for Covid vaccines at the bottom of the link above which may have more information specific to the vaccine you had.

    If you've had side effects you can also report these via Yellow Card.

    You might want to go to a local pharmacy and they can have a look for you and see if it's anything to be concerned about. It's not something I have personally experienced with it though
