Clots

I don't know if folks recall the clots associated with Covid-19 or the vaccine. That was a "story" early on in the pandemic.

My wife experienced significant superficial clotting after receiving her RSV vaccine last week, something she had not experienced from previous non-RSV vaccines. The clots resolved quickly and no post-vaccine sequelae.
