After getting vaccinated, your arm might feel sore or look a bit red. This is normal and shows your body is building protection. Staying hydrated, moving your arm gently, and focusing on fun activities like computer games can help you feel better.

Keeping a record of your vaccines helps you know which ones you've had and when you might need updates. Your doctor keeps official records, but you can also track them in a special app or notebook like collecting achievements in a game.
