    It happens with some. I've had vaccines that stop being sore a couple hours later, I've had some that are sore for days. I don't know if it's because of the vaccine itself or the nurse doing it, but keep your arm moving and it'll be over in no time.

    Some vaccines are especially bad for leaving you sore. Whooping cough can fuck your arm for over a week.

      How does penicillin rank on there? Feels like peanut butter is getting boosted in your asscheek. Then it's a hard lump/bruise for two days.

        That's a wonderful description. I had the anti clotting meds injected into my thighs for a few days after an operation and those were fuckers. I looked like a smack head by the end of the week

          Oh we had to take this in the first week of bootcamp... to offset the dozen vaccinations that they gave us 10 minute before.

          Yeah that was a crazy week mentally, physically, and probably chemically.

    Naw you going to die.

    Oh geez someone just injected my arm made from the greatest scientific advances in virology and medicine. It feels weird I guess I'm abnormal.

    The only very rare side effect that could happen is an anaphylactic shock and at that point where it could happen you are already in a medical sourced environment.

    From what I've read on the Mayo website you gotta keep your arm moving and drink electrolytes. My parents drank a ton of Gatorade when they got theirs and they're fine.

    I got my first covid vaccine a week ago courtesy of my job. For four days my arm had that annoying soreness I'd normally get from doing an intense workout. You're normal.

      Have you had the HPV vaccine? If so, how did the pain compare? Cos that was the most painful shot I've ever had...like I'd been punched in the arm but for like....days.
