I was roofing and of course stepped on a rusty nail that went through my shoe and into my foot. Everybody there said, I had to go get a Tetanus shot right away, even I believed that. So I went and got the Tetanus shot, and later my are that I got the shot in felt like I got hit by a fucking baseball bat. That pain lasted for about a day. I will NEVER get one, or recommend one or ANY other vaccine to ANYONE!!! |

I cleaned it and put antibiotic and band-aid and kept doing that but it would not heal normally which is what they say is a symptom I guess. About two weeks in I got the DTap which was freaking horrid. Lungs filled with fluid and felt horrible for about three weeks. |

The same hare were I got the shot is the one that felt like it got hit by the baseball bat, and it was RED and swollen exactly where I got the shot. Me too. The shot hurt real bad shortly after I got it. Then a day later, my foot hurt about as bad as when I stepped on the nails. I was worried about getting Tetanus from the shot itself and checked for jaw and neck stiffness like a hypochondriac. Nothing further happened. No fever, swelling, spreading. But I am sure I had the start of Tetanus from the nails and I am sure I came close to getting it. I did NOT get the shot the same day as the wound.. it might have been two days or even longer. I believe in vaccinations, BUT! There are reactions as well as interactions. We aren't cut out to be socialists.We are the people who couldn't be constrained by Europe.

I usually avoid vaccination because my system doesn't take it well(had a bad reaction as an infant to a required vaccine, and every year I received the flu vaccine, I became deathly sick with the flu). Received a Tetanus vaccine though, and it did absolutely nothing to me. |

Liarrrrrrrr Uh yea, it was the third day, huitlacoche turns into a near liquid when smashed, i could push it in my mouth and swallow without utilizing my jaw, hard to believe i know, but i was desperate. My jaw was stuck essentially a few cm open. A couple years later i was in a hot tub and squeezed a piece of metal that seemed almost plastic like by then out of my sole. Took a while for the body to push it out. |

They always ask if you've had a Tetanus shot in the last X numer of years-- no matter what you are being seen for. Just say "yes" unless you were wounded around something with feces in it, like a barnyard, or have a really deep wound. Plain Tetanus toxoid is less likely to cause problems than Tdap.
