Symptoms of an adverse tetanus booster reaction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Immunization: There is no specific adverse reaction to tetanus booster- unless someone is allergic to the tetanus vaccine itself. Otherwise the reaction will be like any other vaccine: mild malaise, low grade fever, soreness on the site of immunization.
