Flu shots have never bothered me, but I had a terrible reaction to the pneumonia vaccine - high fever, chills, swollen/painful arm, no appetite....

My daughter was diagnosed almost 5 yrs ago.  We were advised to give her a flu shot and pneumonia vaccines.  It is most likely the pneumonia vaccine that is causing the pain and the lump.  She had a SEVERE reaction to the vaccine. Her arm swelled. The shot site was huge, very red, very swollen (have never seen anything like it).  She also, became extremely, extremely ill (unstoppable vomitting, high fever).  She was sooo sick.  I had the same vaccines at the same time.  the flu shot did not hurt at all.  The pneumonia shot was sore (and I am not T1).  It is a tough vaccine

Yes sometimes people get a reaction to the shot, as long as it is not red and swelling and spreading you should be OK..keep an eye on it and if not going away call the place that gave you the shot,however the shots should of been given in seperate arms so that was strange????
