"The Incredible Hulk" star revealed on Instagram he was hospitalized after he went to get a pneumonia shot and ended up with fluid in his bicep.

Lou Ferrigno is looking a little green.

“The Incredible Hulk” star revealed on Instagram he was hospitalized this week after he went to get a pneumonia shot – presumably a vaccine – and ended up with fluid in his bicep. He posted an unhappy looking snap in a green hospital gown, warning his 87,000 Instagram followers about his condition.

“Went in for a pneumonia shot and landed up here with fluid in my bicep,” he wrote Thursday. “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.”
