TODAY's Sheinelle Jones and Jill Martin both said they experienced swollen lymph nodes, which affected their mammography screenings, after being vaccinated.
"This is just your immune system being triggered by the vaccine, in the form of these B-cells which are sitting in the lymph nodes, under the arm, on the side where you got the vaccine, that are basically waiting to churn out antibodies to the coronavirus after a vaccination if you ever are, in the future, exposed to the virus," Azar explained., since they are more likely to be getting mammograms, it is possible for men to experience the same symptom.
"It can happen to men, absolutely," Azar said."You know, you could even have this reaction in the lymph node and not even be aware of it. They can enlarge and then recede. If you’re a man and then this happens, absolutely you should also reach out to your doctor, we know thatSince Martin is high-risk, the node was biopsied, and when she received the clear results, she called her mother.
