The soreness was more intense than usual, as she typically does not have any reaction to flu shots. By the evening, she experienced significant pain and swelling, which led to difficulty sleeping. She visited urgent care the following morning due to the persistent pain and swelling. She was advise to rest and ice the shoulder.
