One topic that has frequently come up in the vaccine discussion is Tetanus.
It appears that culturally, we are conditioned to fear Tetanus. Many parents express their fears about keeping their children vaccine free because, “what about Tetanus?”

And how many times does a child get a scrape, a puncture, a cut? Every child is bound to step on something or get poked by something. So the pressure to vaccinate is strong, right?
As with all of these issues, getting down to the facts will blow the smoke away. And with Tetanus, the facts are quite damning.
