I had a flu shot now the area has swelled up?

Get evaluation. . : If the area of your flu shot swelled up after the flu shot, but not immediately after the flu shot, this may represent either a reaction to the flu shot or infection introduced by the needle. Regardless, the Doctor that gave you the flu shot should have a look.
