This is me, and no flu shot ever and I'm most likely will never get another tetanus shot either. I'm skeptical about any kind of injection. I recently got a toradol shot for my knee. It helped a lot but I'm not sure I'll get another one. I have serious trust issues.Wildwood mentions Tetanus shots. I have had a few through my life. I’m down in Florida right now gutting our house from storm surge. My wife was quite insistent about me getting a tetanus shot due to the type of work and other dangers laying around everywhere. They were being offered on the island by a pop up medical tent, stopped and spoke with them and learned that tetanus is now combined into a vaccine type injection. Not sure what all it’s mixed with, but a walked away and my wife was not happy with me. I said no way, who knows what’s in it. I just wanted a Tetanus shot not some slick mRNA juice.

X a million.They can shove any and all of their vaxxes where the sun don't shine!
So if fewer than 10% die from these shots or fewer than 50% have serious side effects, then the FDA will approve it.They're running clinical trials for mRNA flu vaccines right now.
My first and last was a flu/pneumonia combo that paralyzed my left arm for 3 days. No more shots.I was trying to remember the last time I did a flu shot. Probably 40 years ago.
I always keep my tetanus shot upTetanus shot. Get one. If you have ever seen a death from this you will never forget it. HORRIBLE way to die.
ain't gonna get it . . .Casually asked "Has Phfizer managed to get the Covid vacc and booster systems into the Flu shots? Make sure everyone gets their proper Vacc's you know."
Answer "Not yet but by next year."
So, if you do the Flu but not the Covid so-called 'Vacc's". Next year you may not have a Choice.
20 years in EMS and saw a small amount of slight of hand being done. From now on if I need and injection I will ask that the unopened box be brought into the room and opened where I can watch. I will be given the package insert for perusal and watch the compound being drawn.
If I am not allowed that then there will be no injection given.
It will be a long time before I need an injection of anything, I can promise.
I got one ten yrs ago. I was making a temporary chick pen, the wind came up and while wrestling the whole darned pen blowing in the wind, shoe came off, stepped on a nail. Outside. At 69, not getting anymore shots. Ever.Tetanus shot. Get one. If you have ever seen a death from this you will never forget it. HORRIBLE way to die.
I remember. 5 people died, and they immediately scrapped the entire plan.Most people dont remember the swine flu scare of the mid 1970s. Those in charge were prepared to vaccinate the entire population. In hindsight, the flu shots killed more people than the swine flu.
Navy, got out in 1987, same here. Have not had a shot since. Nor ever again.Yep, I had just gotten out of the US Navy, and took the flu shot,
which I believe was the first available that year.
I got sicker than I had ever been, and believe it was the flu shot,
that caused me to get sick. That flu shot made some people sick,
and some died from it. The government pulled the shot.
I swore then, that I would never take another flu shot, and thankfully
have never had the flu again. I have been around others who did
take the flu shot, and they got the flu.
Please be safe everyone.
Regards to all.

My dad had lung cancer and I was taking him for Cobalt treatments, they would nor let me in the facility with him without getting it. Made me so sick,but in 2006 or 2007 when swine flu came around again i was only one in company that did not get it.I almost got that one. I was in college and living at home. My father rounded me and both my younger sisters up to go get it. When it was my turn they asked if I had had an injection in the last week and I had gotten a tetanus shot because of a pretty bad cat scratch so they refused to give me one. My father wasn't happy because he was a bit of a mother hen. I was honestly relieved.
With all the weird reactions I have, I always considered that divine intervention because a few days after that, they stopped giving them and all the issues were all over the news.
Is tetanus in a single dose vial, so it is practical to insist on seeing being opened, etc?20 years in EMS and saw a small amount of slight of hand being done.

RUST has only incidental influence in the matter, in that it is A ROUGH SURFACE and likely to harbor all kinds of germs in the pits and uneven surface.If you work with anything rusty, I would consider a tetanus shot a wise idea.
Tetanus vaccine, for as long as i remember, comes mixed WITH Whooping cough and Diptheria vaccine. Commonly called a DPT shot. All babies have gotten it at 6 weeks.Is tetanus in a single dose vial, so it is practical to insist on seeing being opened, etc?

Also consider, if it is rusted, it’s probably been in dirt and crud to get rusted.RUST has only incidental influence in the matter, in that it is A ROUGH SURFACE and likely to harbor all kinds of germs in the pits and uneven surface.
THATS ALL rust has to do with tetanus.
Like someone else said tetanus is in the soil.
Not the veterinary version. Which, coincidentally, is bottled from the same lines as the "no l9nger (easily) available human stuff.Tetanus vaccine, for as long as i remember, comes mixed WITH Whooping cough and Diptheria vaccine. Commonly called a DPT shot. All babies have gotten it at 6 weeks.
My daughter received zero vaccines until she was six months old. She got her first and only DPT at that time. It created a huge, fiery lump on her thigh, and I refused to have her further vaxxed with that shot. After that she got tetanus only. She had the lump until she was about six years old, at which point it became a depression in the muscle. I lied to the schools; you could get away with it in those days. I will never get another flu shot.Tetanus vaccine, for as long as i remember, comes mixed WITH Whooping cough and Diptheria vaccine. Commonly called a DPT shot. All babies have gotten it at 6 weeks.
That's what I had to do for 7 foals a few years back... that year convinced many of the Amish to ignore the prohibition against any sort of "routine preventative" vax. Especially when a young man, 21, developed tetanus. He survived after several weeks in an artificial coma, on a respirator and paralyzed with curare, to keep the muscle spasms from break8ng his spine. His bill was over a million dollars.I always keep my tetanus shot up
I saw. SAW my cousin die from this in 59
And your right
It’s horrible
Imagine that Charlie horse muscle cramp in your leg
Multiply that over your whole body
Muscle after muscle
Cramping
Tightening
Never relaxing
Until bones start to break
And more bones
Not a way to go
Just shoot yourselves
If that's your only option, sure. Reactions as an adult to any of these are minimal. Tetanus makes a pretty sore arm for most for a couple of days. If you ever did have a reaction to the other two, see if your doctor can get the tetanus only vax.Well, ya’ll got me thinking. I did indeed want a tetanus shot, just didn’t want some mix. I take it as serious as all of you. So… are you saying getting the DPT?

They’ve done that by lunch!I remember. 5 people died, and they immediately scrapped the entire plan.

This. You do NOT want to contract tetanus. Ever.Tetanus is the one and only vaccine I will take. The reason being Tetanus is one of the worst ways to die next to being drawn and quartered while conscious. Dear Lord, that is one I wouldn't wish on a living creature. It was dreamed up in the bowels of hell just for the devil's kicks and giggles.
You tell your doc that you get a "contaminated injury" at least weekly! Any puncture below the skin, when you haven't scrubbed since you were playing in the dirt, has the *potential * to cause tetanus.This. You do NOT want to contract tetanus. Ever.
I was going to get one at docs last time I was there because it’s way overdue. She said to wait and see if you have injury and then get WITHIN 48 hours. Well, I think this is wrong thinking, but will see what new doc says. I need to get it because I’m on a farm and go barefoot all the time. And you know when all this happens: during a weekend or holiday. I am so sorry, just thought it was poor advice. But then I’m not as edjumacated as she is.
Just like the fish tetanus shots.BTW, our old farm vet told us the vet tetanus shots (both toxoid and antitoxin) are made on the same lines as the stuff for people. Just different labels slapped on the bottles. FWIW
Huh. Interesting (but not surprising) on the animals. And yeah, that was my last visit with her. Just can’t really fix stuff like a city minded doc. Of course the one I have now looks like he should be on a runway. Not sure where he’s from, but I am positive that if I asked he would provide.You tell your doc that you get a "contaminated injury" at least weekly!

Doc is a dumbass. If you do get a bad puncture, you’ll need the quick acting antitoxin, which is only good for a couple of weeks, because it's been so long since you got a booster. Then you still need to get the tetanus toxoid booster.
