It sounds like the pharmacist may have injected in the wrong spot. The pain is likely not related to the shot itself, but the administration of the shot. There are cutaneous nerves just under the skin and if you hit one with the needle, it can be a problem.
If you haven't already, I suggest you see your health care provider and have your arm checked out to make sure you don't need some treatment for an injury. I'm sorry you are going through this, and I thank you for writing.
In your situation, I would still have my child vaccinated, but I would have it done by someone else who is better at it. Good luck.
