Hep B vaccine (3rd dose) now tingly left hand

Hi

I had my 3rd Hep B vaccine on Tuesday at my new work occ health dept and I think I might have side-effects but I'm not sure. I didn't with the other 2.

It was my left arm. It really ached on the day, I woke up on Weds feeling like I'd slept awkwardly on my neck, it was achey round my collarbone & top of the arm. Then I noticed later in the day that my fingertips on my left hand felt numb/tingly - didn't think much more of it but today I've noticed my left hand feels tingly.

Was googling vaccine injuries at lunchtime and thinking omg it's irreversible nerve damage, my arm is going to wither and die.

It was a bit of a botched procedure - the lady was really rushed and when she jabbed me I tensed up as it was uncomfortable - she pulled the needle out and said 'ooh no you must relax' so went for a second go and did it then.

I'm not sure it's a vaccine injury - Dr Google was saying if a nerve was hit/damaged it would have been excruciatingly painful straight away, which it wasn't.

It's niggling me though.

Thanks
