Small soft pea sized lump

Hi my kitten is 11 weeks old on Monday. I had him at the vet just over a week ago for his first set of injections. I've noticed today roughly at his left shoulder there is a soft pea sized lump. It doesn't bother him when I touch it. If I lift his scruff up the lump moves with it. He's eating/drinking, normal pees and poos and full of energy and curiosity. Could this be from the first injection site?

Yep it'll be the injection site. Should be fine in a couple of weeks

Yes, we had the same with our kitten - a definite lump. It took a few weeks to go away but didn’t bother her, just me (worried cat mum). I don’t remember it happening with previous cats so perhaps there’s a new component in the vaccine.

Yeah I'm more bothered about it than he is. Thanks!
