“You should have a tetanus-booster - actually a combined tetanus and diphtheria (Td) shot - every 10 years. Because immunization is so wide-spread, relatively few cases of tetanus occur in this country anymore - just 36 cases reported in 1994. But about 70% of tetanus infections occur in people who are over 50, who are least likely to be adequately immunized. Tetanus is not caused just by rusty nails and the like. The disease, often fatal, can be caused by even minor wounds or scratches.”
