We moved to a farm last year and I'm now seriously considering vaxing for Tetanus. Does this come as a single vaccine? What are the risks of the vaccine and do you think it's worth getting in a farm environment.?

Thanks.

Why are you more concerned about tetanus now that you are living on a farm? Tetanus spores are everywhere.

They are, but the chances of getting the type of injury required develop the infection is greater here. Sharp wire fencing, glass, nails and stuff in the ground, manure etc. The kids have a designated play area but still it's an increased risk.
