What Causes Redness And Swelling After Having A Shot For Chicken Pox?
I'm 16 years old. To get registration for my school, i had to have the vaccine for Chicken pox. I had already had them so to prove it i would had to get a blood test. I'm am terrified by blood and asked if i could just get the vaccine instead. They said it was fine. So they gave me the shot, and the next day. where i got the shot, it hurts, is swollen, and very red. I was just wondering if this was normal or not.
