I had two shots yesterday and now the places around where the vaccine was injected
are swollen and itchy. Am I OK?

It's very common to have some redness, tenderness, and swelling in the area where
you had a shot. This kind
of reaction should get better in a day or so. If you notice it getting worse, see
your doctor.
