A member asked:
Wanted to know if getting encephalitis shots, hepatitis a and b, mmr, and dpt shots hurt real bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vaccinations: Typically the shot itself doesn't hurt much. Certain vaccinations may be more uncomfortable than others in the day or so following. I know that from personal experience, tetanus shots make my shoulder sore for the next several days. The benefit of vaccination definitely outweighs the risk of discomfort after the shot.
