Shoulder pain after my 3rd dose of the COVID vaccine?

Yes, it is normal to experience pain in the shoulder and upper arm muscle after receiving a COVID vaccine. This pain is often like getting a bruise on the muscle and can take 7 to 10 days to completely go away. To help relieve the pain, you can take Tylenol and apply ice for 15 minutes at a time. Hope this information helps!
