Pins and needles in arm/hand after vaccine?

I had my 1st Pfizer vaccine on Thursday. Yesterday morning and this morning I've woken up with pins and needles in the hand and arm on the side where I had the vaccination. Should I be worried?!

I get this often with needles and did with both vaccine doses. It was fine the next day, no concerns. I got it last week with a blood draw too.

Well it's started nearly 4 days after the jab and I've had it all day now.....

It's fairly common. Hopefully it will pass in a few days; contact your GP if you're worried, if it gets worse or if it doesn't go away after a little while.

NHS advice for persistent or recurring pins and needles is to contact your GP: www.nhs.uk/conditions/pins-and-needles/
