Is Swelling Of Gland Under The Arm Be A Matter Of Concern?

I had a tentanus and a pertussis shot on thursday. Last night my under arm gland is swollen to the size of a golf ball. It hurts to move or lay on it. Is it anything to worry about? I am a 51 year old female healthy 5 feet tall and 134 pounds.
