Thanks for using Health Care magic.
Read your query.
Relax , the blood could be due to non application of pressure after giving the shot or improper removal of the needle which can cause a tear in the tissue.
If the bleeding has stopped ,there is nothing to worry .
If persistent you can consult a doctor.
Thanks and regards
