Hi
Tetanus Inj. Can cause fever and local pain
These are not side effects
But generally it cause both things together.
The doses can be repeted every 5 yrly
If you have injury.
If you have taken Inj. TT within 3 yrs of two injuries then no need of repeat inj. TT after second injury.
Just you have to remember the date.
Local dressing and antibiotics if needed are sufficient for second injury.

Hello Patient
Yes it does have few side effects which are minor ans unnoticable.
If you haven't taken vaccine in past 5 years you need to take it after the injury.
As usual you warrant tetanus booster dose after every 10years.
