Posted by Gelato at 10:39pm Aug 23 '08The lab told me one month for the second shot, and six months from the first shot for the third. (For the Hep B, that is.)
So...apparently I had a not-so-normal reaction to the Tdap shot. The area around it (about two inches in diameter) got all red and swollen over the weekend after that appointment. It got itchy and painful, and it was giving off a lot of heat. My mom said it looked worse than it should've been, but my dad said it looked normal to him (even though he'd never had a reaction like that, either). But then I went back to the doctor for my TB screen reading on Monday and showed them the big lump on my arm, and they were definitely concerned about it. The other shots were fine, though.
Luckily the lump's almost gone now. It feels like a big bug bite. Itches almost as much as one, too.
