    Tetanus, Dip & Polio booster shot - side effects?

    I've just had the t, d and p booster shot, is this a weaker dose compared with the ones you have when you are younger?

    I don't remember ever having side effects from any injection - what is the likeliness with this one?

    Please answer

    The most common side effect of this sort of vaccination is a sore arm, which I realise sounds a bit obvious! The last time I had a tetanus booster, I remember my arm feeling a bit heavy for a couple of days afterwards, but that was all.

    How long did it take for side effects to show?

    Hi, usually 24hrs, sore arm, heavy feeling, maybe a temperature...all perfectly normal reactions I assure you x

    I just spoke to NHS Direct, they said that if someone doesnt see any side effects within 13 hours then its unlikely they will see any. Does that make sense?

    Yep, totally Piers. A reaction will be seen in the same way as an allergy, ie. very quickly!
