Suck it up big baby. Better to get vaccinated than get these diseases.
Tylenol might help and although it might hurt at first, exercising the arm(s) also helps. The HPV shot is reported to be a little more painful for some people than other vaccinations and your random booster was most likely the Tdap (Tetanus/Diptheria/Pertussis) vaccination which also can cause soreness at the injection site. When you return for your second and third HPV shots, be sure to relax your arm. If your muscle is tense, any vaccination will hurt much more.
Your Mom is just making sure you stay healthy and that you're protected against those diseases, all of which are serious illnesses. Almost every teenager your age gets the same vaccinations.
My doctor tells me to always bend & move yur arms after a shot it helps from yur muscles getting sore from tensing up. Bend them like yur lifting weights..hopefully this helped. It may hurt the first couple times you do it but itll soon ease the sore ness.
Use ice packs to help the swelling go down & also for some of the soreness to go away.
