What are ways to keep a tetanus shot from hurting so bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tetanus vaccination: Prior to receiving your vaccination you can take Acetaminophen or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication. I personally place tiny acupuncture needles in the area surrounding vaccinations to prevent pain from occurring.
