His odd Flu Shot

For some years now, my husband and I get our yearly Flu shots. Each time I have gotten one, I have had no bad reaction, no hurting where the shot goes in on the arm etc.
We just got our recent ones this past week. Up until this one, my husband has had no bad reactions. But, this one, where the shot was administered, he got a big bruise afterwards! A vein must have gotten punctured when the pharmacy guy administered the shot.
My husband says the bruise does not hurt. But he is befuddled by the whole thing.

@LeaPea2417 a flu shot is a vaccine, only nurses can administered it here.

Did he say it was any more painful this time when he was given the shot? I am curious if hitting the vein would have been something he could feel. I don't mind shots but reading this freaks me out a bit. I don't like my veins touched it why I have such a hard time having blood drawn.

Hmm, I never thought about him being slightly anemic. I will mention that to him.

I never bruise when I get mine but it does hurt the first night of having it. I never have a bad reaction to it either.
