A member asked:

Can a tetanus/pertussis shot cause pain in arm and almost a over all sick feeling? headache,muscle hurt, lack of appetite, tired?

Dr. Lori Semel answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Yes: It can cause symptoms like that especially since most adults have just started getting the booster of inactivated pertussis. This should only last 48 after injection, if it persists longer than that, consider seeing your PCP! Feel Better.
