Be careful with your vaccinations, "The Incredible Hulk" actor Lou Ferrigno warned after being hospitalized from a reaction to his pneumonia shot.
"Went in for a pneumonia shot and landed up here with fluid in my bicep," the caption read from his hospital bed photo on Instagram. "I'll be OK, but it's important that you keep an eye on who's giving the shot and make sure they not only swab the spot correctly but that you watch the needle come out of the package."
Ferrigno, a body building strongman, famously played the TV role of the Incredible Hulk. He is now 67.
After being released from the hospital Thursday he attended a Smash Global MMA event in Los Angeles.
"What a great night with @smashglobal and @steveorosco," Ferrigno wrote on Instagram. "Really great getting to hang out with some old friends as well @dolphlundgren. Happy I made it out of the hospital in time."
