Went to the ER and it was diagnosed as a hematoma, not to worry, it will go away.
It took three months to finally "go away".
A very, very isolated incident most likely related to the technique (or lack of it) by the one giving the shot.

I wouldn’t go back to the person who gave you the injection. They sound clumsy! Mine was a quick jab near the top of the shoulder, seriously less than a small mosquito bite. Both times by different people. The next day the muscle in that arm was sore as if I had an upper arm workout at the gym. That was it. The soreness was from the vaccine not the clumsy injector. Gone soon after.
