1. Review titled Covid vaccine fine but problems with flu jab

   This review is written as constructive feedback about an issue with a service at this pharmacy. Every vaccination I have had has been given in the same area just below the shoulder. The covid booster I received first was also given in this area. However, the flu jab I received was given in the back of my arm in the area of my tricep muscle and appeared to bubble under the skin which I have never seen before. The immediate area is now discoloured and the surrounding area is more painful than I have experienced with any other vaccination in the past. Hopefully this will subside in time but my main concern is that I may not actually be properly vaccinated if the shot has been given in the wrong location and into the wrong type of tissue. The vaccinator was friendly and obliging but seemed to be working at great pace and perhaps would benefit from some additional training. Hopefully this is a one off incident rather than part of a more general problem but personally I would not use this pharmacy again for vaccinations.
