In a small number of people, an unexpected side effect of the COVID-19 vaccine has emerged: swollen lymph nodes on the same side of the body as the shot was given. For women who undergo breast screening soon after vaccination, such swelling can show up on a mammogram, so clinicians may need to take extra steps to educate patients about this possibility and assess the need for follow-up testing.
