Did you get Covid 19 vaccination after recent chemo treatment?

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.

After reading your comment I did a google search. I found this article:

I never thought much about the risks of needle injection- more stuff to worry about

How long has it been since you got the flu vaccination and still experience tenderness on the arm? I thought injections in one arm would be better, then maybe messing up both arms.
I will not do 2 injections on the same day again. You never know how it turns out. Get one,
recover, get the next one, if you have the time.
