Not sure if it's normal, but I just had at tetanus shot yesterday morning, now it's the following evening and my jaw muscles and even neck and shoulders are a little sore.
Shot in the dark here and not sure if this is true; and I'm not a Dr. by any means, but my only thought is that when they give you a vaccine, I think they are essentially giving you a small dose of the disease so your body can build up immunity to it. I know tetanus symptoms include muscle spasms, soreness and "lock jaw." It might be that we're feeling a small dose of the symptoms of tetanus.
I could be way off base here, but my pain is pretty tolerable for the most part rightnow. So I'm going to give it a few more days and see if it gets better. If it gets worse, I'll go back to the Doctor Who gave me the shot.
