A tetanus shot itself typically does not cause jaw pain, but some individuals may experience soreness at the injection site, which could radiate to nearby areas, including the jaw. In rare cases, people may have a reaction that leads to muscle stiffness or discomfort in the jaw. If you experience persistent or severe jaw pain after receiving a tetanus shot, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
