Say my 13 month old were to step on a nail, would he have to get a tetanus shot? He is completely caught up on all immunizations, would it be a definite for him to have to get one?

If he is all caught up with his immunizations than I think he is caught up ih he is 12 or 13 going in 7th grade you have to get a tetanus shot but if they tell you hes all caught up than I guess he is all caught up..

I believe the DPT has the tetanus in it. Tetanus is good for several years. When the child does step on a rusty nail that is a good time to ask the doctor if additional tetanus is necessary

You can get tetanus from an iguana chunk. Tetanus is so much quite often discovered in soil. The iguana itself would possibly not bring it however anything will get into that chunk can infect it. If you get bit so usually, a bit tetanus shot will not hassle you.

Don't worry unless he gets a bad cut. He has a much greater chance of being hit by lightning. 4 Americans every year get tetanus.

It is absolutely necessary when any rusty metal enters the body via a cut etc. A tetanus shot lasts for 10 years in Australia and I would presume the same everywhere. It's a good rule to follow that if you don't remember when you had your last shot then go to the doctor and get a shot.

Do NOT get vaccinated.
A vaccinated person is MORE likely to get a disease than a non-vaccinated person. The whole theory of vaccination is flawed. It causes a weakening of the immune system thus making those who are innoculated more susceptible to disease.
There are so many awful side effects to vaccination that it should be considered extremely dangerous.
Just sit back and think for a while.
Is there any sense in injecting a disease directly into your body.
We have been subjected to an awful mind control program to enable the drug manufacturers to make a fortune.

If you go to the vaccination liberation web page, at

You will find all the forms necessary to provide exemption for your child.
