Thank you, I feel better now. My chemo ended over a month ago. I made a hasty decision but
luckily it worked out. I need to slow down and think. The site of the vaccination is swollen, the front upper arm red, even on the 4th day painful when touched.
I had gotten all the previous Covid 19 shots
with no side effects. I think all the symptoms come from
the flu shot.

You might consider checking that the affected arm isn't infected. It could also be that the person who had given you the shot hit a nerve. This is what happened to my husband years ago, and his arm was sore for about a year after the shot. BYW the arm I got the covid shot in (I had the flu shot in the other on the same day), really ached and was tender to the touch two days following the shot. My other arm (which got the flu vaccine) is still very tender to the touch.
