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.

Janet: "Boosters are given to adults in the form of the tetanus and
diphtheria vaccine every 10 years" I was quoteing from the web site
page, therefore i didn't edit out the diphtheria bit..What i meant was
that i'd tell Mr.Cormaic to include stuff on Tetanus. Diphtheria would
have no releavance to gardening anyway..

This is a UK group, about UK conditions.

Anyway, hopefully ppl will update their license

We don't have health licenses here.
This was a metaphor *sigh* We don't have a Tet-vac license either.

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. .
I thought the whole tetanus thing was UK relevant which is why i
posted.
Here's a bit from YOUR charter:
"Please note that this exclusion relates to subject matter, not
people, and posters from around the globe will be welcome to
participate in or initiate discussion of UK-relevant topics."

Anyway, i dislike the constant reminders and the whole thing isn't
worth it so i'll quit URG/RG completely. The tech channels are a lot
more comfortable. It would make more sense to edit your charter and
knock out the "around the globe" bit.
