Pneumonia injection/shot reaction
I got the pneumonia shot two days ago and today woke up to a very very red, hot to the touch and swollen arm from injection spot to elbow--is this normal
Yes that is normal with the new vaccination. I work at the hospital and all my co-workers including myself got this reaction. It will take up to a week to go away.
It is somewhat "Normal" to get swollen and red after a vaccination. You may also be allergic to a component such as the ajuvant in the vaccine. I would tell your doctor when you see him what happened. My husband had a similar reaction to the tetanus vaccine. He isn't allowed to have it anymore.
