Guest guest Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Probably due to the fact that we no longer farm and get exposed to the clostridium tetani toxin which loves those type of conditions! [Norton AntiSpam] Re: to vaccinate or not?? I have never really understood the need for repeated tetanusvaccination in most of us living usual lives without testing forimmunity before the shots are given. Tetanus is actually quite rare indeveloped countries, perhaps due to immunization. There are less than50 cases of tetanus in the US per year, even though at least 50% ofthe population over age 50 is completely non-immune (elderly especially).
