Pharmacist was alone, in a terrible hurry and stressed, she jabbed me with the needle on the inside of my left arm - not in in the shoulder - where it should have been administered. The reaction was immediate. The tip of my tongue felt strange. I had the sensation that my tongue and lips were swollen and a huge red welp - about 2 x 4 inches developed. My lips started tingling and heart was beating irregularly. The pharmacist sat me in cubical outside of injection room and administered 10 ml of Children's Liquid Benadryl. She had me sit there for an hour then gave me a 2nd of 10 ml Children's Liquid Benadryl and told me I could go home and contact my doctor. But reaction was still on going.
