After DTP shot tiny blood in the syringe

Question

Asked for Male, 32 Years

Hello Doctor, My 5yr son had his DTP (Tetraxim) booster shot today and after the shot we noticed a tiny amount of blood in the syringe and needle. Is there anything to worry about? If the vaccine is injected into veins is there anything to worry about? Thanks
