COVID arm

First we had COVID toes, now we have COVID arm. This is a reaction to the COVID inoculation exhibiting as a rash around the site of the jab. In some cases the rash may spread to the hands and feet, and to other areas of the body. It can be very itchy.  As with the toes, it is an allergic response to the vaccine, but medical authorities say cheerfully that it is an indication that the vaccine is having a strong effect and will be efficacious against the virus.  Both conditions do fade after some time and can be treated with topical ointments and antihistamines. So we should embrace our COVID arm as a sign of good protection.
