yes... it does hurt. it feels like its burning when they push the stuff into the arm. and then it will hurt for a week like someone punched you in it.

No, it's just a tiny pinch. If you are scared tell the person giving you the shot and they will do their best to put you at ease. Take slow deep breathes, relax your arm and dont look.
All the pain is afterwards, for a few days your arm will be sore, but don't favour that arm and use an ice-pack.

I dont really think that the shots hurt. It just feels like someone flicking you in the arm...it doesnt hurt, but the feelings just there. Just be calm. If your scared your going to think that its gonna hurt. Just try not to think about it, or listen to an iPod or something. You'll be fine....btw...i laughed when i got mine!

Sadly, yes. It hurts. It hurts a lot at first, for about ten seconds, then is extremely sore for about a week. It mostly depends where you got hurt.

It feels like a shot, but tetanus is a necessary shot, so buck up and take it! Lock jaw is a horrid disease...
