Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
the Pneumonia shots have no relation to diarrhea.
The black color in the prick area may be due to subcutaneous hemorrhage.
Local application of rashfree ointment may help.
if diarrhea does not subside within 2-3 days you may go for stool culture.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
