Rash after tetanus vaccination

Hi
I had my vaccination on the 18th and I have this rash on my arm which goes nearly round to the back of my arm. It's hot and itchy. It's also swollen Sad

I'm panicking! Is this normal??? Or should I call 111

I had this as a child, the gp said I was allergic to the vaccine and shouldn't have it again.

I would take some piriton and if you are concerned call 111 as I think allergic reactions can be unpredictable.

Just to add my arm was very swollen and it was quite a severe reaction so it's best to speak to your own gp about whether you should have the vaccine going forward based on your reaction.
