Kitten lump

Hi everyone

So my kitten has his first vaccine and 2 weeks later found a lump size of large pea in the area he was vaccinated. Took to vets for second vaccine which he had in his leg instead. Vet wasn't too concerned as it's moveable and not causing pain. I'm worrying myself silly about vaccine sarcomas as it's still there 4 weeks after his first vaccine. Has anyone else's cat/kitten had this? Thanks so much!

My cat had this when she got her first vaccination - she was 5 years old and I got her privately from a horrible home. The lump eventually developed a crust after many weeks that eventually fell off with fur attached to it. Micky is now 10 years old and the area where the crust was is still „bald“: however it is hidden by her fur. All later vaccinations haven’t caused lumps. I still have the bit of crust with fur.
Taz and the other 2 kittens are adorable!
