Hi Karen, >>>Not always. When I was a kid, the "rule" was that people took tetanus vaccines once a year if you had any exposure, cuts, etc. Then, somewhere along the line, they changed the recommendation to once every 10 years. Not it's back down, maybe to 5 years, I believe?
Interesting that the tetnus recommendation has changed in the US. It has gone the other way in the UK and Canada. If you have had 4 shots in your life you are considered to be covered for ever. Since you get several when you are young that pretty much covers it here. Perhaps in the US they are more worried about being sued?? Robyn Hood
