In the forces, we also had regular Yellow Fever boosters, among others.
The last time I had a tetanus jab you had to go through a 3 course treatment, which I never did, just getting a jab at the time. That was 30 or so years ago though.
The last time I had a tetanus must be around a dozen years ago and it caused shoulder drop in the arm that was shot.
I could lift it and move it but standing relaxed my right shoulder drooped.
The doctors said it was a badly administered tetanus shot.
It's not the vaccine that's the problem but the way it's administered and most docs are not given the information.
My shoulder has righted itself.
