Our body is criss-crossed with arteries and veins, some of which are very small.
Nick one with a needle as you're being vaccinated and it bleeds so that you end up with a bruise, like you've got.
This is from the government's info. sheet for the AZ vaccine regarding side effects:
"Very Common (may affect more than 1 in 10 people)
* tenderness, pain, warmth, itching or bruising where the injection is given"

I hope that gives you a bit of reassurance though I know myself from experience that it's a bit of a nuisance.
The niggly ache doesn't usually last beyond a few days.

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations
The different reactions to the AstraZenenca are quite interesting I was talking to a lady in her 80s who had her first dose the same day as me.She has absolutely no reaction whatsoever, she can't even tell where the injection site is, on the other hand I know exactly where the injection site is because it hurts slightly though there is no visible sign of bruising.
BTW another case of blood clotting reported today - a woman in her 40s. That is two cases in 700000 injections.

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations
Ooh that looks painful Carol !I have had a few red arms after a flu jab, but not that red! If it doesn't fade in a couple of days I would ask a doctor if that is a normal reaction...... but I am sure it is nothing to worry about!
Just show it to your family & they will make the cups of tea, instead of you!

I have nothing but high praise for the vaccination centres, they have put in such a lot of hard work getting our country so well vaccinated beyond belief.
