Ouch! Hope it goes away soon.

You may be developing an allergy to one of the compontents in the shot. I'd be careful if you get anymore.

Me too! I have a three-inch spot around the injection site more than a week later. I have a corn allergy so I went in to get checked.

My GP said it was because the tech had given the shot to me too low, not at the top of the deltoid where it should have been. He said he'd make sure to personally oversee my shot next year.

Last year when I got a flu shot, the site turned into a huge red itchy bump. I used Benadryl creme on it. Went away after a week or so.
