Flu vaccine question.

I got a flu shot at Rite Aid yesterday.
I felt the liquid go in as I do sometimes and my shoulder felt funny afterwards so I twirled it while I grocery shopped afterwards.

But I ALWAYS have a sore arm the next day and get a slight flu body aches same day. This time I had no side effects and my arm is not sore at all.

It’s not possible he administered the vaccine incorrectly, right? I mean it must be either it goes in or it doesn’t. There was more bleeding under the bandage than usual.

I frogging hate the flu.
