When I went for my pre-conception appointment a few weeks ago, my doctor told me to check to see if I had gotten a TDAP vaccine recently. It's a tetanus shot with a vaccination for whooping cough. Apparently, in the last few years, the guidance for tetanus vaccines has changed. It used to only be that kids got vaccinated for whooping cough with tetanus. Now, it's recommended that everyone get vaccinated for it.
Well, I hadn't gotten the TDAP vaccination since 1986, so I needed to get one today.
It sucked.
Needles don't particularly bother me, but tetanus shots are always kind of sucky. It stung a bit, but I'm glad to have it over with.
