So I had my vaccine last week, all good apart from a sore arm, now since yesterday I have got a red and hot patch at the injection site, that has got bigger in the last 24 hours, anyone had similar or can tell me when it will go down? Pictures attached

If it's hot and red and getting bigger it sounds like the site is infected. I think you should call 111.

Look up Covid Arm. I had the exact same day 8 after my jab. It went right down within 24 hours, completely gone within three days. I rang my GP and they were insistent it was nothing to do with my jab and gave me antibiotics, which I was then allergic to and was poorly with.

I had exactly this (it got a bit bigger too) about a week or so after my first vaccine (AZ). The redness/heat went after a few days but then I did have what looked like a faint bruise in its place for a few more days.

Had my second vaccine last week - sore arm for a day but nothing else
