Allergy to flu jab?

[azulmariposa]

I had my flu jab yesterday morning and this evening I've noticed a big red mark where I had the jab. It's itchy and hot to the touch. I've put some sudocrem on it, but do I need to go back to the dr if it gets any worse?

Some redness and inflammation at the site of the injection is not uncommon it is listed on the advice sheet you are given.

They didn't give an advice sheet. I hadn't even sat down, the nurse said have you had a cold recently, I said no and bosh it was in my arm
Never had a reaction before to any vaccine. This bloody hurts though!

I had mine yesterday, and my arm is a little achey, but nothing worse.

I got mine at the local pharmacy, and they gave me the leaflet from the vaccine box. I have not looked at it! We had a lovely chat, and I got a nice sit down!

No plaster or sticker though.

See I'm allergic to plasters so was glad when they didn't put one on!
Luckily redness has gone now, that was what I was worried about the most!
It's still hard and painful though.
