You have set me thinking.... I've never had a tetanus jab in my whole
life !!

Tetanus is one of the normal (UK) childhood immunistaions, comes with the
one against diptheria and something else.

I was so sick I had to go to emergency with a hand the size of an
orange.

Thats is just an infection, all be it a nasty one, not tetanus. Tetanus
causes muscle spasm hence the name "lock jaw".
