I got a Pneumavax 23 injection on Sunday, 8/4/19 at Sav-On Pharmacy on 132nd St SE in Mill Creek, WA. My arm was on fire the next day and started to swell with redness. I called the pharmacist and explained what was going on. She said it was normal. By Tuesday morning I was in so much pain I went to urgent care. I had cellulitis, a serious bacterial skin infection from the injection. Had I not gone in, I could have gotten septic. The doctor put me on heavy antibiotics for 10 days which ended up delaying my hip surgery-all from a bad injection!!! It was an awful experience!
