Tetanus Side Effect????!
Question: I'm 14 and I just got my tetanus shot a couple days ago and it still hurts when i move it and stuff. What are the side effects? I've been getting headache's, my right ankle was weak, my stomach was hurting, my arm was sore, when i woke up the day after my tetanus shot my head was heavy and that's about it. Is it normal to be getting these effects? Please help, because i told my mom and she was going to take me to the hospital but I didn't want to. I hate the hospital. Thanks a Bunch!
