Once you get the shot, raise and lower your arm, shrug your shoulder, flex your fingers on that arm continually for the next hour. That'll reduce the ache.

This bit about the pain is spot on. I had my first shot a couple of days ago, and am just now getting over it. I wish I had seen the part about reducing ache -- I'll try that when I get the second shot in a few months.
