    Maybe call Nurse on Call hun? They will be able to tell you if it's a normal reaction - I find them super helpful. xoxoxo FWIW my gf's son had a HUGE reaction to his 4 yr old needles, his arm from shoulder to elbow was bright red like he had a sunburn and was hot to touch but he wasn't too bothered by it. Turned out to be within the normal range of what can happen.

    Sounds completely normal to me.

    In infants and toddlers, the most common side effects were irritability, injection site tenderness, decreased appetite, decreased sleep, increased sleep, fever, injection site redness, and injection site swelling

    From Safety Info | PREVNAR 13&reg Pneumococcal 13-valent Conjugate Vaccine (Diphtheria CRM197 Protein) which is basically the insert that comes with the vaccine.
