The pneumonia vaccine is typically administered intramuscularly, not subcutaneously or immaculately. This method allows for better absorption and immune response. Depending on the specific vaccine, it may be given in the upper arm or thigh. Always consult with a healthcare provider for the appropriate administration technique.

Why does the pneumonia shot make your arm so sore?

The soreness in your arm after receiving the pneumonia shot is primarily due to the immune response triggered by the vaccine. When the vaccine is injected, it introduces antigens that stimulate your immune system, leading to inflammation and increased blood flow in the area. This can result in soreness, swelling, or tenderness as your body builds immunity. Additionally, the physical act of injection itself can cause minor trauma to the muscle tissue.
