Scraped myself on rusty metal today. Doc told me I needed to get a tetanus shot since my last one was about 9 years ago. So today I got the Tdap vaccine. I was scared of tetanus, then I was scared of the shot. Now I知 feeling a few body aches and am terrified I知 having some dangerous reaction to the vaccine. I had a mild headache before getting it (likely caused by my freaking out about scraping myself on rusty metal) so I知 reminding myself hat at least my headache is not from the vaccine. But what about the aches? I feel a little feverish but have no fever. The site of the vaccine looks 100% normal.

Why am I like this now? I have gotten tetanus vaccines every 10 years during my entire life and have never given it a single thought before.
