If someone experiences a deep or puncture wound, or a wound contaminated with dirt, an additional booster dose may be given if the last dose was more than five years ago. It is important to keep an up-to-date record of all immunizations so that repeat doses don't become necessary. Although it is vital to be adequately protected against tetanus, receiving more doses than recommended can lead to increased local reactions, such as painful swelling of the arm.
As mentioned above, adults who received more than the recommended doses of Td vaccine can experience increased local reactions, such as painful swelling of the arm. This is due to the high levels of tetanus antibody in their blood.
The most frequently reported side effects following vaccination with Tdap were headache, generalized body aches, and tiredness.
I had my last shot prior to joining Peace Corps, I think I had to have it before getting my medical clearance, so either late 2001 or early 2002. I must just have great tetanus antibodies.
Painful swelling in the arm my ass. I have painful swelling of half my body!
