Tdap... a little stinger!
I'm required by school to have a Tdap booster... that's the new Tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough) booster advised once for everyone over age 11 or 12. I was already up to date on my Td, but due to the school requirement, went to have my Tdap last Friday. I had it done at the county health clinic, paid my $13, and was on my way. No pain. I didn't expect any, as I've had the Td in the past with no pain, either. (Shots don't generally bother me). What surprised me was the achy deltoid for 4-5 days afterward! It's now Wednesday, and my right deltoid still doesn't feel the same as my left. I also woke up Saturday very hot and sweaty... kind of feverish. I know these things CAN come from immunizations, but I've usually had no problems in the past from the Td. It must be the pertussis component. Oh well, enough whining. :)
