Each person's different, but the needles are so thin so that they can slip in with you barely noticing.
Personally, I find that if you don't look while they're doing it, but the time you realise, it's over and done with and you barely felt it. My last tetanus made my arm ache a little bit for the rest of the day, but certainly not bad enough to fit in the 'hurt' category, just the 'bit tender' category

They hurt a little bit, but FAR less than the many many needles you would have to get were you to develop tetanus as a result of not having your jabs.

depends. i had a tetanus shot at 11, it didn't hurt. i had another at 21 and that HURT!!! the nurse practically stabbed me in the shoulder like a psycho and my arm felt like a leadweight for a week! plus, my shoulder also felt lke it was on fire too and i had to go see doc... funnily enough the nurse who immunised me had been fired two days beforehand...
i hope that didn't scare anyone..

not really hurt, just like a regular shot. but the next few days after shot it hurts bad and you can barely move your arm.

I find an injection does not hurt if I don't look at the needle and just look away from the nurse maybe reading something on the wall I also find if they offer it on your butt its easy and painless

I had mine in my butt! A friend was looking in through the curtain and that hurt more than the shot!!!
Think of the consequences, they hurt more than the needle!

Yes they do but you can minimize the pain you get afterwards but rubbing hard on the spot right after the shot is given. It moves the medication which is kind of thick around in to the muscle so it doesn't form a hard, sore, red area that can be tender for days

It all depends on whether or not you think other shots hurt. I don't like needles, so I think they hurt really bad.
It also depends on your pain tolerance.
They might to me but to you they might not.

Not more than a tiny needleprick.
Shots that really hurt are Hepatitis B vaccination
MMR and Meningitis.
