Red Stripe after pneumonia vaccination?

1 reply

I had the pneumonia vaccination two days ago at the same time as the flu jab, in different arms. Since then, my flu jab arm is fine but the arm in which I got the pneumonia vaccine is extremely painful and I can hardly move it. Since last night I have developed a red stripe from the injection site down my arm about two inches long. In myself I feel relatively okay. Should I be worried?

I rang the doctors this morning and the receptionist made me feel a bit silly, saying it's to be expected. But my arm is agony and very sore to the touch as well as when I move it. Thanks

I wouldn't worry,it will calm down over time.I got the hayfever jab administered in May and it felt like the needle was stuck in my bottom for about 4 weeks the Doctor was foreign and it was so embarrassing him telling me to touch my toes I was really embarrassed
