Current tetanus shot?
How important is to have a current tetanus shot?
Can you just opt not to get one, until you actually need one? |

My parents were talking about this the other day. My father said you don't have to get it until you need it, but it's better to be prepared.

Why?
Honestly I hate needles and haven't had one since I was a kid. Any time I go to the doctor's office, they tell me I am due. If it's okay to wait until you need it, I rather wait. I guess I want to know the pro's and con's of getting vs not getting one until you need it. |

wait wait wait....you're telling me that the junkies that you deal with don't like the needles they use to shoot heroin or do they just smoke it?
