Is it normal to have a bruise after having a hepatitis vaccine? It still hurts after several months and i can feel a little lump inside. What do I do?

I had this lump a week ago on my hip, it didn't hurt, it just itched. 2 days beforehand i had gotten flu vaccine, mmr, tetanus, and hepatitus b shots.
