They found that only about two percent of people developed a rash, itching or another minor condition after their first dose also known as 'Covid arm.'

The team noted that the conditions that appeared were all relatively minor, and should not be a deterrent to people getting vaccinated when it is available to them, and previous data shows that many of these conditions are harmless to people   

Of 40,640 vaccinated staff members at Massachusetts General Hospital, 765 reported the development of a skin condition after receiving their first vaccine dose. Of that group, 101 reported another reaction after the second shot as well
