I forgot to come back to this to update. I got the shot as planned and then was back home and about an hour after the injection, my neck started itching. I looked in the mirror and my neck, collar bone and chest were covered in hives. I freaked out a bit and called my pharmacist to find out what I should do and she just said to take benadryl, which fortunately I had on hand. I did and they cleared up in a couple of days. Don't know what this means for getting the shot in future years. I've never had any kind of reaction before.
