I’ve literally never encountered such a nice set of medical professionals. I had an injury that made me unable to walk, and the staff was incredibly understanding and accommodating with wheeling me around the office. Everyone was kind, the nurse was super thorough in walking me through the procedures, and I’ll definitely be back if I have medical issues in the future.

The exemplary staff of PA's are excellent. I have been so pleased with the entire clinic and all personnel. They are sincere and very caring. The techs are outstanding as well. I especially want to thank Ms.Lauren Johnson for her insightful knowledge and expertise in urgent care and follow up which resulted in being admitted to a Nashville hospital. Her follow up care has been very thorough with sincere and great patient care. This clinic is superb in every way and I am so thankful that this clinic is located in Murfreesboro. It is the cleanest clinic and I want to thank the PAs who prevented me from my pneumonia going into covid. This clinic is a blessing to Murfreesboro. And the PAS are sincere and caring and all are so thorough in expertise and follow up. The entire staff is caring and very nice. This clinic is superb and such a blessing to our city for patient care.

Tetanus Shot FAQs

  • How much does a tetanus shot cost?

    Without insurance, the tetanus shot will typically range from $25 to $60. Costs will vary by urgent care clinic. Make an appointment with Solv today to find how much a tetanus shot costs in the Shelbyville area.

  • Is a tetanus shot covered by my insurance?

    Health insurance plans that include preventative benefits usually cover the tetanus shot. If it is covered, you will typically only need to cover the copay, which can range from $10 to $40.

  • Where can I get a tetanus shot in Shelbyville?

    In general, tetanus shots will be available at Shelbyville-area urgent care centers, retail clinics, primary care doctor offices, local pharmacies and travel vaccination centers. While walk-in appointments are typically available, booking a visit online will reduce your wait time and ensure you protect yourself from tetanus faster. It’s vital that you seek treatment for tetanus immediately, so make sure you make an appointment for a tetanus shot ASAP.

  • How can I book a tetanus shot in Shelbyville?

    Regardless of the kind of vaccine you are seeking, Solv can help you book an appointment. Simply search for Shelbyville-area doctors, find a provider, and book the most convenient time for you. Make sure to include “tetanus shot” as your reason for visit.

  • Can I make a same-day appointment for a tetanus shot in Shelbyville?

About Tetanus Shots

A tetanus shot is used to prevent tetanus, also known as lockjaw. Tetanus is a bacterial infection that can lead to painful muscle spasms, and oftentimes, death. Adults in the US have to be vaccinated against tetanus because there's currently no cure for it and roughly 10 to 20 percent of victims die from tetanus. Symptoms of tetanus come from a toxin produced by tetanus bacteria and usually begin appearing about a week after the infection occurs. The most common symptom is muscle stiffness that begins in the jaw and spreads to the neck, arms, legs, or abdomen, but other symptoms include trouble swallowing, headache, fever and sweating, irritability and restlessness, high blood pressure, palpitations, and muscle spasms in the face.

It's important to get treated for tetanus as soon as you know you're infected because if it's not treated quickly enough, you can die from suffocation. Tetanus shots are given in the shoulder muscle. If you've never had a tetanus shot before, you might be given a three-dose primary series. You'll get the first dose as a three-in-one combination called Tdap that prevents tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), and diphtheria (Td). The other two doses will usually be a dual vaccine and you'll receive them over a 7 to 12 month period. You should receive a tetanus vaccine between 2 months and 6 years old, as well as a teenager and an adult. Pregnant women might need a tetanus shot during the third trimester of pregnancy.
