I had my booster on Friday. I am not particularly bothered about injections at all but this time the initial prick hurt considerably and I jumped. The vaccinator then said she was trying to push the liquid in really slowly so it was better but it continued to hurt alot. Then she spent quite some time holding a cottonbcall to my arm and wiping my arm so I assumed I was bleeding alot. The other staff member (the one taking the records) left and went to whisper something in the ear of the supervisor and then I had my 15 minutes wait time and left.
Now I am absolutely paranoid that perhaps when i jumped not all the liquid went into my arm. If that happens (does it happen that often or at all?) would they re-do the vaccine or at least tell you so you can be aware you may not have had a full dose and so need to be more careful? I have asthma and immune issues so tend to be worried around covid anyway, but wondered if there was a sort of recognised protocol if something goes wrong. It may just be that the giving of the vaccine was a bit clumsy and everything was fine, but this idea that perhaps not all the vaccine went in is really worrying me.
