You can get the tetanus shot after the fact. Four is a low enough number to account for people who are completely stupid/lazy/indifferent, and some whom for whatever reason (health or religion) cannot get the shot.
Four cases (NOT deaths) in children in one year is nothing compared to the number of children who die from five gallon buckets, for instance.
We do not need a universal law to get the number four down to two.
Stepped on a rusty roofing nail and went to The Shot Nurse that day. Insurance covered 100% of the cost.
You only get Tetanus from a puncture or deep wound. If you get one of those, go to the minor emergency and get a shot. That’s what we have been doing for 30+ years.
Apparently they want to pump up the tetanus sales.
Don’t be afraid of Tetanus, be afraid of rabies.
Oh, and BTW, the reservoir of tetanus is horses....if you are around any land where horses have been, then be very vigilant if you get an ingury and get the shot (after the fact).
i’ve had enough tetanus shots to last the rest of my life without getting even more ...
