SALT LAKE CITY, Utah â Intermountain Healthcare doctors announced new mammogram guidelines Tuesday in response to a surprising new side effect of the COVID-19 vaccine.
They say women who recently received a COVID-19 vaccine may have to postpone their yearly mammogram.
âWhen one receives a vaccination there is an inflammatory response in the arm,â said Dr. Brett Parkinson, medical director of Intermountain Healthcareâs Breast Care Center.
In the past four weeks, doctors have seen swollen lymph nodes on screening mammograms of women who have recently been vaccinated.
Women are now being advised to either get their annual mammograms before being vaccinated against COVID-19, or wait at least a month after their final dose to avoid a mistaken breast or other cancer diagnosis due to a side effect from the shots. Another 10 coronavirus deaths were reported in Utah on Tuesday.
