Can Soreness On Back Be Result Of Tetanus Booster Injection?

I got a tetanus booster today in my upper left arm (IM). I expected the arm to be sore, and it is, but the left side of my back, sort of on the inside lower portion of my shoulder blade is sore too. Could that be from the tetanus booster too, or is it more likely just a coincidental random soreness?

it could be just because of tetanus booster only..tetanus injection itself is a painful injection...pain may remain for for 3-5 days.if its in excess better take a painkiller
