   My vague recollection of my last Tetanus booster is that it created   
   about the same level of soreness as Covid #1, but that was about eight   
   years ago, so my memory is foggy. I'm curious how #2 will go -- I've   
   heard a wide range of different reactions from different people, so I'm   
   not counting on anything.
