MedHelp Member's Question

underarm pain after H1N1 vaccine

by hovane, Nov 04, 2009 07:17AM

Instead of the normal pain around the vaccine injection site, I have additional pain in my underarm area.
Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it take to go away?

I am also experiencing the same symptoms, three days after being innoculated. It has not gone away (throbbing type of pain that is always sore-no palpable lump)

Hi Celine, we had shots for h1n1 yesterday, and it doesnt take time at all. It was the matter of seconds. It was way quicker than other shots. So dont worry, you are among them who are vaccinated.
