Is it normal to have lower back pain after a tetanus or meningitis shot?

At the doctor yesterday they gave me two vaccines. One was a tetanus booster, and the other was a new one out for meningitis. I was told that my arm would hurt and I'd have a low fever, but there's also this dull pain in my lower back. Is this a normal effect? I think it's starting to go away along with the arm pain.

1. I think it's just a temporary side effect. However, be grateful. ^^

2. your kidneys?

3. One would not expect to have lower back pain following vaccination. I suspect that your pain was just coincidence.
