Understanding Tetanus Vaccine Injuries

Tetanus is an adverse medical condition that arises through the contamination of a deep cut or puncture wound. The infection causes muscle spasms—often originating around the jaw—and can lead to sudden and painful contractions of entire muscle groups. These contractions can be strong enough to cause bone fractures and /or muscle tears. Tetanus (also known as lockjaw) generally develops within eight days of infection but can lay dormant for up to several months. Left untreated, tetanus can be fatal, but it has largely been eliminated through widespread vaccinations.

Standard tetanus immunizations occur through a DTap injection—or its predecessor, DTP. These vaccines provide immunization against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis. Td boosters are recommended every ten years to maintain effective immunization against tetanus and diphtheria.

Why Do Tetanus Shots Hurt?

If you have received a tetanus shot and your arm is sore, you may be experiencing discomfort due to your body’s production of antibodies in response to the viruses in the vaccine. If the pain persists for more than a few days after your shot, you may need to consult with a medical professional.

Common Side Effects of Tetanus Shots

Some mild side effects associated with the DTaP vaccine are: pain and swelling at the injection site, rash, mild fever, irritability, drowsiness, fussiness, vomiting, and loss of appetite after a shot.

As with most vaccines, rare but severe adverse reactionsto DTaP, Tdap, Td, or TT vaccines can occur:

• Shoulder Injury
• Seizure
• Non‑stop crying
• High fever
• Coma
• Lower consciousness
• Permanent brain damage
• Brain damage (encephalopathy)
• Aplastic Anemia
• Optic Neuritis / Multiple sclerosis (MS)
• Death

Effective Strategies for Tetanus Prevention

It is possible to protect yourself from getting Tetanus. According to the CDC, the best ways to prevent tetanus are through vaccination and taking good care of a wound:

• Vaccination: Make sure that you and your family are up to date with your tetanus vaccines. This is the best way to prevent tetanus in the future.
• Good Wound Care: Ensure that even small wounds such as blisters, scrapes, or breaks in the skin are taken care of immediately. Always wash your hands with soap and consult your doctor right away if you have concerns.
