No, but if you had the shot within the past 48 hours, there could be a little swelling and stiffness at the site of the injection. its just a mild reaction to the foreign substance in your body. your body has sent lots of killer blood cells to destroy the typhoid bacteria, and they will produce antibodies against it. Even though the typhoid injection is already dead, your body will make antibodies against it anyway, and keep you safe from the disease.

First of all, I think what you had was a TETANUS shot, as typhoid hasn't been much of ta threat in these parts for many years. The shot may make your arm sore temporarily, and you may have a slight fever, depending on how sensitive you are to it, but it shouldn't be anything major.

No, but they don't half hurt after getting them.
