p.s. I said yesterday, the shot area did not hurt, but this morning I absent
mindedly scratched the spot & it hurt like heck. It throbbed for 1/2
a hour. I know, I'm a big baby.
I got the Tdap because my doc said it was time for my tetanus update, and with the resurgence of pertussis - whooping cough - of some college campuses - our area if just rife with colleges and the accompanying students - I might as well get the "whole package." After this shot, I'll only need a tetanus update every ten years.
