Tetanus

Nope... 10 years

TB vaccine (BCG, live attenuated vaccine) efficacy last upto 10yrs i.e the immunity acquired through vaccination last up to 10yrs of age if given at birth.and tuberculosis (TB) vaccine is more efficacious for preventing tuberculous meningitis in children than pulmonary tuberculosis.

tetanus PREVENTS lockjaw if this is what you mean

When you're an adult, you don't have to get your tetanus shot every 10 years if you don't want to. Doctors don't have time to chase everybody to make sure they have their shots every 10 years. They have more important things to do than that. If you have diabetes, epilepsy, asthma, HIV, cancer or any other uncurable disease, your physician can force you to get vaccinated every 10 years. He/she can force you to get the flu shot every year if you have health problems. But as long as you're an adult and you have no health problems, they can't force you to get a tetanus shot. If you have a bad burn, a deep cut that requires stitches, an animal bite or a surgery, the doctors can force you to get your tetanus shot. If they don't force you to get your tetanus shot and you develop diphteria or the tetanus disease, you could sue the doctors. Or if you're in a position where you can't sue ( wich would probably be the case), your family would sue the doctors for you.

They use the eggs to fertilize the H1N1 strain. But the H1N1 strain did not culture as well, telling use that the shot is not the exact same as the normal flu vaccine. And that is why people with egg allergies are cautioned not to get the vaccines.

My horse had a tetanus this year and my vet told me it will last 5 years.I would check as I would imagine it depends on the type of vacineused and the age of the horse as older horses immune systems don't work so well.

Unfortunately no, though most places will, some will refer you to your own doctor for the booster shot. They say it's because your own doctor will know if you are up to date with your booster shots and fi you require any.

Best is to check with your doctor or hospital, as the hospital will keep a record of everything you were administered.

It's recommanded that you get your booster shot every 10 years. Some people do it, some people don't. I'm 33 years old and I haven't had a booster shot since I was 17. It's been 16 years since the last time I had it. I've had cat scratches, burns, cuts, insect bites, but no dog bites yet and I never went for a tetanus shot. I never contracted diphteria or the tetanus disease. I think our immune system gets stronger when we become adults. So my immune system must have got stronger since I was 17, but at the same time, it was luck. I don't mean to brag or anything. At 30 years old, I got a 2nd degree burn and I went to the hospital. The cleaned my burn and covered it with a bandage. They were gonna give me a tetanus shot because it had been nearly 13 years since last time I had it. I had to argue with the doctors so I wouldn't get it. Finally, I signed a contract saying that I refused the treatment and if something happened, it wasn't their fault. If I would've got diphteria or tetanus, my family wouldn't have been able to sue.

yes you have to have a testing. So if you apply it. you may know that if you have an allergy or something lke that...

its to prevent the mother and her baby from getting infections.. some patients might go into labor and give birth in an unsterile environment, which can infect the baby and the mother later on.. some patients might think they dont need it, but still its recommended to take it just to be safe. taking it wont cause harm, other than the needle pain.. if you are pregnant, consult your health care provider about this..

I would not do that. I would get it ASAP!

No, Tetanus is a type of disease in which the persons joints lock up. It is usually caused by rust, stepping on a rusty nail or cutting your hand on a rusty blade. Tetanus shots are given to prevent the disease.

Usually about 10 years, but it depends on if the cut is very dirty.... If you get hurt on a nail about 5 years....

Tetanus is caused by a toxin released by a bacterial organism. The serum contains antibodies to the toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium tetani. The antibodies inactivate the toxin in the blood stream and prevent an individual from experiencing tetanus.

This type of vaccine, which is most notably provided against tetanus, will fight any viruses that might have already been introduced into the body. Tetanus toxoid is often given following trauma to the skin.

It is an infectious often fatal disease characterised by violent tonic muscles spasms and rigidity caused by toxin of Clostridium Tetani. C.Tetani are gram positive strictly anaerobic and bear spores. most of the species grow as saprophytes in soil.Wound infections from bacteria. Tetanus bacteria is found in feces of animals

Clostridium tetani the bacterium that causes tetanus needs to enter a cut or deep wound.

Antisera is given to patients because it contains specific antibodies to the tetanus toxin. By binding, antibody to toxin, the toxin is neutralized. Otherwise, the toxin will cause tetanic musscle contractions seen in patients. This antisera causes a much faster response than the toxoid that is used as a vaccination. In this senario, a innactive form of the tetanus toxin (which is a toxoid) is introduced to healthy individuals. This toxoid causes the body (specifically B-cells) to produce antibodies and most importantly memory cells. Individuals who have circulating levels of antibody are considered immune to tetanus because the body will combat the pathogen before it has a chance to produce toxins.

Tetanus toxoid is a vaccine that prevents a person from contracting lockjaw. Lockjaw is a potentially deadly disease because its poison attacks the nervous system.

Tetanus cannot be transferred via mouth to blood, due to the fact that tetanus cannot grow inside of the mouth because of the saliva. If one has tetanus, it cannot be transferred to another via mouth. The only possible danger is if your blood comes in contact with theirs in which case you might want to be checked, although chances of gaining tetanus from another person are slim to none and if you are updated on your tetanus shots, then there's nothing to worry about.

Take her to the doctor right away. The doctor will determine what needs to be done. I would expect that the doctor will give an tetanus shot right away.

Tetanus was discovered by Arthur Nicolair in 1884.

Tetanus is an infection that usually enters the body through wounds or punctures. It causes severe spasms of the jaw (lock jaw) and other parts of the body. It can cause stiffness in muscles and difficulty swallowing. Other symptoms include elevated temperature and blood pressure, and sparodically elevated heart rate. In some cases tetanus can result in death.

}In the rare cases where a person does develop tetanus, recovery is possible. When the infection is diagnosed and treated early, the recovery period usually takes at least 4 to 6 weeks.

People who are infected with tetanus and develop the disease are treated in a hospital, usually in an intensive care unit (ICU). They receive large doses of antibiotics to kill the tetanus bacteria and tetanus antitoxin (a medicine that neutralizes the toxin produced by the bacteria). Other medicines may be needed to control muscle spasms

Stepping on a rusty nail or any other type of puncture wound could cause a tetanus infection, a bacterial disease that affects the nervous system and is often fatal. This is not the ONLY way to contract the disease but one should always get checked out after cutting or puncturing the skin with any kind of rusty object.
