Swollen Lymph Node In Clavicle Area, After Receiving Verorab Post Exposure Shots, After Bitten By Monkey

Hi, I was bitten by a monkey in thailand about two weeks ago, and since have receiving verorab post exposure shots. I've received three of the five required shots, and I am getting the fourth tomorrow. I noticed after the third shot that I have a very swollen lymph node in the right clavicle area, the same arm in which I have received the shots. Is this possible side effect or reaction to the shot? Or should I be more worried?

Thank you!

Enlarged lymph node following vaccination is seen in some individuals following any kind of vaccination. There is no cause of concern and will subside in a week time.
Kindly get back to me if it persists beyond a week.
Take care
