Tdap (tetanus, diptheria, and whooping cough vaccine)

I laid my finger open on the bleeder blade of a Magnus Black Hornet Saturday while pulling an arrow out of my quiver. I tried for about two hours to get the bleeding to quit, but ended up going in to get stitches. It’d been a while since I had a tetanus shot and doc said he’d go ahead and get me one. I’ve had a tetanus and a couple boosters, but I cant ever remember getting the triple dipper. The past three days I have been absolutely drained, muscle fatigue, and body/joint aches.
Anybody else ever experience this?

 

Call the doctor for medical advice!

 

They’re the ones that got me into this mess!

 

I had the TDap about 8 1/2 years ago when my wife was pregnant with our first son. I remember feeling similar symptoms on and off for the first 36 hours or so. It may be normal, but I am not a doctor. If it lasts longer than a couple of days, definitely get checked out.

 

Don't worry thats just the mercury in the vaccination. (kidding)

Call the doc.

 

I react to the Pertussis in the vaccine. My arm usually get a hot baseball size lump. I cannot remember the fatigue - but I know my muscles hurt.

I'd just give them a call so they can note it in your chart.

 

I’m 40 times better today. Looked up side effects and it said 3-5 days and I’m on day 4. It was at the ER and I don’t have a family doc. I’m feeling my wheaties today
