Flu Shots

Should getting a flu shot have left a large purple and yellow bruise on my shoulder? 

Are the results of injecting something usually more bruising than removing something (blood)?

Should not have that reaction.  I get blood taken all the time and sometimes I don't even get a red/blueish bruise mark.  Sure they gave you a flu shot?  Needle is really small and never seen a reaction.  Sure they didn't give you the beubonic plague?

Is it safe to take such shots here in KSA withoujt really knowing wats in those tubes?

Whats a flu shot? never heard of it. "seriously"

The nurse might have punctured a blood vessel which caused the bruising...nothing to worry about really :)
