A member asked:
How long is it normal for a bruise/knot at an immunization injection site last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually a few days: Most of the time, these areas last only a few days. Sometimes there is a little bleeding at the injection site and it may last longer, usually 1-2 weeks.
