Our study found that FDG accumulation in the axillary lymph nodes and deltoid muscle was higher within a shorter time after vaccination, and axillary lymph node accumulation was higher in young patients, females, and those with adverse reactions of fever and myalgia. No significant relationship was observed between blood type and the frequency of FDG accumulation. Confirming the vaccination status, time since vaccination, and the presence of adverse reactions before PET may reduce false positives.
