Default Tetanus every 5-10 years - Please Read - Important!

The tetanus-vaccine injection was pretty painless, i hardly felt the
prick because i was looking away when she shoved it in and was quite
surprised that it was all over so quickly! The arm is sore though
after a day and i was very slightly feverish. Do it on a Friday or a
Saturday, and get everyone to baby you, and tell them what a great
risk it is and how you avoided death so narrowly. I got to lie in bed
and goof off while Mum danced around and got chocolates and ice-cream,
though they didn't take my suggestion of heaving the whole bowl to the
invalid too well.


Blimey! How many jabs do you routinely have over there? With our regime
of several during babyhood, then more at 5, more sometime during primary
school and then the wonderful test followed by jab at 14 (if the test
doesn't swell up and become really nasty, you have to have the jab and
that certainly will go nasty), chances of receiving sympathy are remote!
Even if you are running a slight fever.
