Symptom narrative

Shot caused a silver dollar-size blood accumulation at the inoculation site. There is no pain/adverse reaction associated with the shot, just looks ugly at the needle entry point. Just to be on the safe side, I returned to the Pharmacy (where I received it) to show it to their medical personnel. Two of them agreed that the needle probably struck a vein in my arm and it leaked a small amount of blood that accumulated under the skin.
