From all the stuff I have read recently on vaccines, I am somewhat afraid of them. In the US only about 50 to 100 cases of tetanus a year, so it is actually fairly rare. Death from a tetanus shot appears to have a higher probability of death, and I suspect it would be made totally ineffective anyway with the large amounts of CS I am taking. Also from http://www.babybag.com/articles/cdc_tetn.htm: Tetanus toxoid can not act fast enough to give immunity to someone who has been wounded, particularly for those who are not completely vaccinated against tetanus. There is a substance called tetanus immune globulin (TIG) which can provide immediate immunity, and which may be given for tetanus- prone wounds. Questionable injuries are best examined by local physicians or health-care providers who are trained to evaluate wounds and recommend treatment procedures. So according to this, it is really too late for a shot anyway. And tetnus when not in the spore state is killed not only by CS, but by penicillin, which I am grudgingly taking as well. Besides I dowsed on it, and got that I should not take the shot, that CS will be all I need, and that although I do not need to take the penicillin, I won't hurt to take it anyway.
