    It was highly unlikely you got a pertussis booster according to my Dr. friend in Kingston. The usual practice is Jamaica is to only give a Tetanus booster for injuries like yours.

    Thanks for checking that with your doctor friend. I was told by the clinic in Jamaica that my reaction was probably because I still had Tetanus immunity in my system since my previous Tetanus shot had been 7 years before. I had insisted on a Tetanus shot in the hospital though since I had a lot of dirt in the wound.
