Symptom narrative

I developed a pink streak running from the vaccination site along the inside of the arm to the armpit. It was tender to touch; the armpit was painful to touch (2 on a scale of 10). There was no error in the immunization process - it was the correct site and needle length with only minimal bleeding. There was no fever or systemic body ache or any other body symptom. After 2 days, it is slowly resolving. I notified my physician and she agreed it should be reported as an adverse event.
