Had my booster shot today and blood trickled down my arm straight after she done it, is this anything to be worried about? This didn't happen for the 1st and 2nd jabs.

Doesn't sound like great technique, but doesn't sound like anything to be worried about.
It can happen yes, just depends if a capillary was 'hit' on the way in. Luck of the drawer stuff I reckon. My daughter had bleeding with one, but not the other two. I didn't bleed for any of the three. It is 'entirely to be expected' and I don't believe its a problem if it does (someone with more medical knowledge might have a better answer). I presume that they didn't consider the 'blood trickling down the arm' to be excessive and asked you to apply pressure till it stopped ?
