NO: MMR vaccine goes into the subcutaneous tissue (fat) of the arm, not into the muscle. That is why you felt that sensation. Air bubbles are only dangerous if large ones are injected directly into the blood stream. No cause for concern.

No: Even if air went into your arm, it would not be dangerous. Injecting a large amount of air into a vein can be dangerous.
