Tetanus and rabies are two where the lifetime benefit may outweigh the risk. (Of course, if there is no manipulation and the stand alone tetanus vaccine is made available again. Lots of тАЬifs.тАЭ) Tetanus is ubiquitous in our environment, and you have to balance a lifetime of worry over the relatively small risk of the shot. Tetanus is anaerobic, and tetanus prone wounds are exactly the ones hardest to adequately clean. Think a 'through and through' nail to the foot, or severe burns with eschar. Disease rates are artificially low because our initial series probably does provide immunity for life; saw a couple cases from Mexico many years back; nasty disease; both died. That said, the current тАЬgive for every scratchтАЭ and тАЬgive to children who are at zero risk of the diseaseтАЭ mentality is ludicrous. The rabies shots are also overused IMO.
Actually, not quite. It takes time for the antibodies to develop, so effectiveness is not ensured. It is given at the time of a tetanus prone wound, but paired with tetanus immune globulin, that has its own issues.

Tetanus shots typically contain aluminum adjuvants such as aluminum phosphate or aluminum hydroxide to enhance the immune response to the vaccine.
These adjuvants help the vaccine to be more effective by allowing for lesser quantities of the vaccine and fewer doses.
Additionally, some combination vaccines that include tetanus, such as DTaP and Tdap, may also contain antigens from Bordetella pertussis, which act as an effective adjuvant.
The aP component is worse than useless; seems to confer a lifetime increased susceptibility to the actual disease, and may create an asymptomatic carrier state. And you probably know, the P was killing kids;
thatтАЩs why DPT was stopped and TDaP started. Big mistake imo.
Warning? Geez. I though we had freedom of speech in the USA.
DonтАЩt bother. I wonтАЩt comment again. If a substack cannot tolerate a difference of opinion, itтАЩs not worth my time anyway. BTW, IтАЩm firmly anti-vax except for these two possibilities, and only because IтАЩve seen first hand the ravages of these diseases. Have you? Over and out.
FIRST find out what immigrant brought it in
SECOND then go back to giving it as a SINGLE shot.
Absolutely! Having single shots is essential for vaxxed-unvaxxed studies. May I suggest stand alone tetanus?
No you may not.
I already exposed the tetanus shot as being 100% ineffective as per research studies.
Go away with your bs vaccine shilling.
I'd like to read this, is it still available? Thank you.
Are insults really necessary? If youтАЩre really the тАЬsmartest,тАЭ youтАЩd know that your readers are anti-vax.
Yes. Stand alone tetanus, so that it can be avoided like the plague!

WRONG.
I wrote about this.
Stop pushing this nonsense here.
Seriously.
Farm workers should have an un-manipulated version available.
Last warning.

Next comment shilling rabies or any other vaccines gets the ban hammer.
May I suggest not getting a Tetanus shot at all ONLY if you need one? Like after you need it cause you can. Haven't ever had one myself.
IтАЩm not saying everyone needs one; just saying assess personal your risk - benefit.

Huh? Warning? What are you talking about?
