I just got the flu shot yesterday and i got a red patch over the injection spot ?

Injection: Observe for spreading redness and burning sensation which are signs of infection. For itching take nonsedating antihistamine like claritin or apply cortisone ointment. In the meantime keep the patch clean and dry
