Symptom narrative

Patient's caregiver observed redness around the injection site the evening of administering the vaccine. Today (3 days after administration), the caregiver observed significantly more redness, some swelling, and warm to the touch around the vaccination site. The area of redness today appears to be nearly the size of a softball, but oval in shape going lengthways with the patient's arm. I advised the caregiver to take the patient to the local urgent care (the patient's family did not want her going to the ER).
