I get welts like that when I get stung. It's no fun and they last for days. Plus there are other allergic reactions along with that. It's not just a welt.

These reactions should not discourage patients from getting the vaccine, say researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Guess again.

How long before people who have reactions like that end up with anaphylaxis with their next shot, or the one after that?

Large local reactions almost never go on to anaphylaxis. This appears to be a know. side effect with moderna my dad got a small reaction with his first just had the second with no problem. It should not stop you from getting the vaccine

Bee stings. Remove stinger with a knife , credit card, or other edged item. Scrap it off, treat it like a pimple so you don’t inject more venom. You can place an aspirin covered by a bandaid over the sting site. In an emergency remove stinger as advised above, look around for a cigarette butt. Remove all the paper and filter. Place tobacco over sting site. Hope this helps🤗
