Whooping Cough Vaccine

[phleb]

Is it normal to have lump on arm after having this vaccine. Had it on Tuesday and have tender lump still.

"You may have some mild side effects such as swelling, redness or tenderness where the vaccine is injected in your upper arm just as you would with any vaccine. These only last a few days."

I have seen that, but its itchy and lumpy. That worries me. No swelling, no redness, just slightly sore to touch and itchy.

Itching and pain is a common side effect of the vaccine used.
