Brief Answer:
It seems nothing to worry about.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I see the photo you attached and the arm is red near the injection site.
I don't believe that this can be a serious allergic reaction, you should not worry about it.
It is a reaction of your body to any of the vaccine components or a delayed immune system response which can happen a week after vaccination. This is nothing to worry about.
Hope I have answered the question.
