Tetanus injection on buttocks

2019-09-18 21:05:52
Is it fine to get tetanus injection on buttock. I am getting pain after receiving it in my buttock. Please advice doctor as I read online that it's not at all recommended and then I wonder why that nurse gave me on buttock saying it's less painful and more effective in that area
