Sense of smell was something that was reported for patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 on the other hand I’m not aware of any similar reports for loss of smell for vaccines.
One of the key reasons why I used free text instead of a poll in Which rationalists faced significant side-effects from COVID-19 vaccination? was that having free text makes it more likely that unforseen symptoms like loss of smell get reported then if I just use a poll. Exposing more people to that post to report side effects is one straightforward thing you can do if you a bit worried.
Although my sense of smell isn’t totally reliable to begin with (for pre-existing reasons) my sense of taste and smell didn’t seem particularly affected by the vaccine. I haven’t noticed anything unusual here.
