got the vaccine 4 consecutive years in the same arm and area. 2009, 2010,2011, injected as the last dose in the vial, freezing cold in my arm. these three left a tiny bump in my arm until present day. 2012 was single dose. after dose in 2013 in the right arm, left arm developed severe pain, disfunction of the arm, variable soreness and tendonitis. I blame in great part the way of the etching of the injection and residual freezing dose, possible adverse wrong adhesion of vaccine residues provoking this adverse reaction, near to incapacitation. I hope this serves to review proper application IM, as well as proper management of this product and shelf life in the fridge after opening the vial.Read More Read Less
