Swollen lymph nodes after whooping cough vaccine?

I had the vaccine on Thursday and thought I had got away with no side effects at all, until this morning when I woke up and site is a bit red and hard and sore. Which I figured is normal, but was expecting that on Tuesday/Wednesday, not now. I also have a very sore and slightly swollen arm pit on the same side. The same with my neck but not as sore.

Is this normal? I thought the vaccine wasn't live so wasn't expecting an immune response like this and not for it to start 3 days later. Also not the best on a day like this where I already feel hot and miserable!

I had my vaccination on Thursday too. Very sore arm and now have a terrible cold.

Whoops I was meant to write Tuesday!

My armpit is even more sore now, I can't sleep on my left side side because it hurts the injection site and I can't sleep on my right because it hurts my armpit with my arm being pulled down.

The joys of pregnancy!
