Mammograms show swelling due to COVID-19 vaccine, radiologists say don t worry
Women planning to schedule their annual mammogram might want to consider the timing of their COVID-19 vaccines.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) Women planning to schedule their annual mammogram might want to consider the timing of their COVID-19 vaccines.
More and more doctors see a side effect. The shots often cause enlarged lymph nodes in the armpit or near the collarbone, which can be mistaken as a sign of cancer.
But if you ve recently been immunized, medical experts say not to worry. If it s within four weeks after your vaccination, then you have a higher chance of having enlarged lymph nodes on the side where you have the vaccine, said Dr. Hannah Milch, a radiologist and assistant clinical professor at the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine.

Nikunj Patel, M.D. Director of Oncologic Imaging at Scripps MD Anderson Cancer Center in San Diego said this is no reason for alarm because the swelling of the lymph nodes can be a side effect of the COVID-19 vaccine. What it indicates is that this is something the vaccine is doing, something it s supposed to do that it s mounting an immune response naturally, Patel explained.
The Society of Breast Imaging recently released a directive that provided guidance for routine mammograms for women who get the COVID-19 vaccine. Consider scheduling screening exams prior to the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccination or 4 to 6 weeks following the second dose of a COVID-19 vaccination.
