After any shot it is important to rub the area hard to disperse the vaccine. Otherwise it just stays under the skin, a hard lump, until it is slowly absorbed. See you Doc as this is going on far too long.

Yahoo Answers is the wrong place to ask medical questions. Ask your Dr. In my non-medical opinion, and just from experience, 48 hours is too long.
