Vaccine side effects

2017-07-15 21:36:59
Hello. I got a meningitis b vaccine over 48 hours ago. Today, I noticed a very large red spot on my arm at the site of the vaccine. It is still swollen, hot to the touch, and very painful. It hurts when I'm not even touching or moving it, and hurts even more when I am touching or moving it. Is this normal??
