Hello,
Welcome to XXXXXXX Thanks for the query.
Aggrenox is an antiplatelet agent with a combination of(Dipyridamole + Aspirin).
This prevents the blood from clotting.
The development of bruise at the site of vaccination may be due to aggrenox.
If the bruise is not subsiding and increases in size then you should consult your doctor to discontinue aggrenox for a brief period of time under medical supervision.
Hope this answer helps you.
