Tetanus Shot with One Arm?


Hi! I am getting my Tetanus shot next Tuesday. I am 14 years old. I hate shots and I'm hoping that this won't hurt to bad. I have a question. I am a right arm amputee (since I was born). Where will they give me the shot? I'm hoping it's in my left arm and not my..... bottom, lol. Does anyone know?

Thanks!

They'll give it to you on your upper left arm.

From experience, it is in your arm. You get to choose. I get one at least every 10 years.

try rubbing your leg with your free hand, for example if the shot is in your left arm take your right hand and rub your left leg this has always help when my children were getting there shots.
