Symptom narrative

pt states her arm became hot and red about an inch below the injection site right away after being vaccinated. It is now 2" x 1 1/4" in size and oval in size. It is less red and not as hot to the touch at this time. She contacted a pharmacy about this reaction and said it is not a normal reaction. She has had similar reactions from the anthrax vaccine and covid vaccine in the past where the symptoms seemed to get worse than what is happening with this vaccine. She is concerned about getting second dose.
