I have gone through the immunization details that you have provided.
Let me reassure you that unless the area forms a hard painful lump there is no reason for concern. It will be fine soon, even if it was close. No need to worry.

So on the side I wasn't worried about he has a red spot with a lump. Do I need to do anything?
Brief Answer:
Wait and watch for a few days first
Detailed Answer:
Just wait and watch. If the lump does not reduce in a couple of days, it would be a good idea to visit a pediatrician and to get the area evaluated.
