Is your Tetanus up to date?

I called the docs yesterday, apparently I'm covered by a booster I had in 2007 and the boy is covered by his baby jabs. The nurse was very suspicious of me asking though, and added that they do not administer booster jabs as routine, she wound me up a little actually.

Here the opposite. If you have a big enough wound, and you're more than 5 years past your last vaccin (or you can't remember when you got the last one), you get the booster.
I must have had it at least 4 or 5 times.

Makes sense to keep getting a booster, I can't figure out why the nurse I spoke to was so defensive though, maybe she thought she had an outbreak on her hands
