Re: Should mom give son tetanus?

[Guest guest]

Just one other thought about this issue. My ds will enter middle

school in 6 weeks, and the school's paperwork demanded that he get a

" booster " for diptheria, tetanus, and pertussis. I would do whatever I

had to to avoid giving him the diptheria and pertussis shots, but

thought he might need the tetanus booster (I respect that others may

disagree). So, I asked that his titers be tested for all three -- and

the results show he has adequate antibodies to all. No medical need

for the booster, and the pediatrician will sign a waiver to that

effect.

Might be a useful approach for some.

Best,
