A member asked:
If im covered with the tetanus shot and had an accident 7 months ago (puncture in knee) and im getting now the general symptoms, should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not tetanus: "General symptoms" could be anything. What exactl;y are you experiencing? But don't worry about tetanus: having been vaccinated that recently, it is impossible that they are symptoms of tetanus. Of course see a doctor if the symptoms are severe or you remain concerned.
