Vaccination Side Effects

Juliane took her booster shot of Tdap vaccine just this Saturday past. The vaccine is supposed to protect adolescents from tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis. 
Today, her upper arm where the shot was given started swelling and there was pain and redness. The swelling felt very warm to the touch as well. :( I had Juliane applied the ice pack to her arm, hoping to reduce the redness and swelling. 
Will check with the doc tomorrow if this is normal as Juliane has never experienced any side effects for her other vaccination shots.
