Sometimes vccinations (any injection, for that matter) can be a bit sore for a day or two. If Nano is very painful, take a few ice cubes, put them in a plastic bag, wrap a towel around the bag and cool the injection site for 5 minutes, then stop. Do this a couple of times today (3-4 times) and the pain and potential swelling should be gone by tonight oor at the latest tomorrow morning.
