I do not understand your question. Persistent pain after vaccination is not expected.

Thanks for the question,

Shoulder pain is almost certainly unrelated to the vaccine, unless it is at the injection site. Injection can cause local sterile inflammation.

If the shoulder pain is on the same side as the vaccination site, it might be related. If it lasts more than 4-5 days, see a physician. Menstrual cycle changes may occur with any stressful situation, do not be concerned.
