It is perfectly safe to get a mammogram following a vaccine. Just tell your technician if you recently received a vaccine. When you get a vaccine, your body produces white blood cells to fight off perceived infection, which can cause lymph nodes to swell. Yale Medicine reports that this side effect is rare, however, should it occur, it could show up in your mammogram, so it’s best your technician is aware of it.
