A member asked:

My dad who is 78 had a tetanus booster yesterday and is dizzy and has fainted could this be the shot?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

?Shot rxn?: I have had tough high school football players & frail teens faint with a shot. So anyone can in dealing with the stress. On the other hand there are a variety of reasons where the simple stress of a shot can push a person with other health issues into a lightheaded state. I wouldn't look on it as an allergic rxn.
