Is it okay to get a tetanus shot in the buttock? I got one there and now it's hurting. I'm kind of worried because I read online that getting it in the buttock isn't recommended. Why did the nurse say it was less painful and more effective there? Can you help me understand what's going on?

if pain persists and it develops into mass consult general surgeon
