What Causes Sore Shoulder And Arm After Pneumonia Shot?
I received my second pneumonia shot on Friday and within a few hours my arm and shoulder were extremely sore and my shoulders as well and had a large red spot about six inches below where the shot was administered. Is that normal and why so severe? Thank you
