On Friday I had the pneumonia and tetanus vaccines and I have to say that was the worst decision ever. By the 25th hour after, Injection site was in my right arm and I am right handed. I cannot move my arm it hurts so badly to even attempt to raise it. My head has been throbbing. Worst headache. My whole body is sore. Hurts to move. I've had the chills, fever for 3 days now, body aches, etc. I've been taking tylenol and hydrating with pedialite. My resting pulse has also been in the high 90s-112 and the Dr's said not to worry. How long dpest and will this last? I need relief!!

    If you still have symptoms you should report this via the MHRA yellow card system in the UK or via your country's reporting system.  Otherwise the manufacturers don't know.
