Yes. In my case it was exactly one week after I got the first dose that my SO noticed the entire vicinity of the injection site was red and puffy. As we were examining it the redness started to spread and a darker red spot appeared as if a balloon of the vaccine contents were punctured and then began leaking down my arm under the skin, right in front of our eyes. It was freaky. It wasn't so bad, no pain or anything, it just kept spreading and changing appearance (at one point looked like ringworm??). Now I'm just trying to decide whether to get the second dose in the same or opposite arm....
