Adult TDap booster - how bad is it?

[Anonymous]

Got it last year and zero side effects. For any vaccine, make sure you’re moving that arm a lot in the hours after the shot (make big circles from the shoulder).

I don’t remember anything about it. Which means it was nothing. I got a booster within the past two years.

I had zero side effects. Nothing.

This, plus flex the muscle. It all helps.

I had a tetanus shot after an injury and weird allergic skin reactions that came out exactly 1 week later. My entire injection site upper arm turned red, swollen, and extremely itchy. Couldn't find out any information about that.

Had one on Monday, no problems at all. Arm was barely sore.
