I had a tetanus shot some weeks ago and still worry that it has caused me to be ill. is it possible?

Confusing question: Most reactions to a tetanus shot will occur within 24 hours and can be similar to any major allergic response.Your brief lists you with depression and severe anxiety.There has been a lot of misinformation put out by vaccine haters to the point babies are dying needlessly from preventable disease.It is hard to feel secure, but the chance of you having a shot related issue is minimal.Disc with doc
