A member asked:
Why does the hep b shot hurt so much?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say.: All vaccines are designed to stimulate the immune system so there is always some local pain due to the influx of immune type cells. Sometimes a vaccine can be injected close to a nerve or structure that is sensitive making the pain a bit more difficult.
