Near, but not on, where the shot went in. It helped quite a bit. Early Covid shots warned to avoid taking otc meds for pain, even for a few days before you got the Covid vaccine or booster. I think it was so that any concerning symptoms weren't masked.

It might hurt, but if you stay well, it's worth it Some of the boosters I got hurt, but this last one didn't.
