I've been giving vaccinations since nursing school, and I've probably given thousands by now. MMR, HiB, Td, pneumovax, flu, DTaP, varicella, testosterone, Depo Provera---you name it, I've given it.

So, why do I feel like such a baby after receiving my flu shot and a tetanus booster on Wednesday?  Both of my arms ache, especiallymy left arm where the Td was given. It feels like a dead weight just accidentally attached to my torso. Is this how I've been making people feel for so many years?
