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


"Janet Baraclough" wrote in message

The message
from Vivek.M contains these words:



"Boosters are given to adults in the form of the tetanus and
diphtheria vaccine every 10 years. "


No adults in the UK get, or require, booster vaccinations against
diptheria; because it died out here decades ago. In other countries, or
climates, that may not be the case. When are you going to understand,
that health or gardening advice VARIES according to local circumstances.
What is appropriate for America, may be completely inappropriate in
India , or Britain.

This is a UK group, about UK conditions.

Anyway, hopefully ppl will update their license


We don't have health licenses here.


and maybe this could
be added to the URG FAQ, as a cautionary note to newbies to gardening.
I'll mail Mr.Cormaic regarding this.


It would not be appropriate to add UK-irrelevant "advice" to the urg
FAQ, since urg's charter limits it to discussions relevant to gardening
in the UK. .


Hurrah!
