How long should a Tetnus shot hurt for?

It can hurt pretty bad for up to 3 or 4 days.

It’s because the stick it in the muscle tissue, which can bruise. The pain’ll last for for as long as a normal bruise.

Now you want a shot that hurt, get an anthrax vaccine. Holy crap!

After the 3rd one(anthrax vaccine is done in series. a couple weeks apart at first, then months, I think 6 shots total) you can barely move your arm for a few days,lol

It’s probably too late to call your doctor’s office but you could call the emergency room of your local hospital and ask them if it’s normal.

I got a tetanus shot 4 days ago and it still feels like someone punched me in my arm really, really hard! It swelled and felt hot to the touch. I am still waiting for the soreness to subside. According to a lot of other folks who have had the shot, some people can develop a localized reaction to the shot and it may take a few weeks to subside. Unless you develop a high fever with the soreness- I don’t believe that there is cause to worry.

The last tetanus shot I got was sore for a month. I’m actually overdue for another… ugh.

yeah sometimes immunizations hurt for a while,if it doesnt stop, talk to a doctor

when I got mine it hurt for a week and a half,so ya its normal
