Vaccine: FLU4, HEPA, TDAP
Symptoms: Blood test, Lipoma, Mass, Skin warm, Ultrasound scan
Clinical narrative: Noticed a small pea sized lump near collarbone day after vaccine. Seems to be getting larger slightly and warm. Called pharmacy to report reaction was told this was not a reaction to the shots. After reading on the CDC site I see that it is a rare reaction to the tDAP shot. I visited my regular Dr on 10/5 and she also didn't think the shots would cause this type of reaction. I have an ultrasound scheduled for 10/8 to be sure it isn't something serious. Believe to be a lipoma. This just appeared after the shot.
