Not sure if this is in the right section and whether it is a stupid question, but here goes anyway.

I'm due to have a tetanus booster injection (erm tomorrow!!) but can't face trailing to the General at 6.30 in the morning, so was wondering if any (or all) of the Private Hospitals would do it???

Thanks in advance for any advice.

How many have you have, Dr's now say once you have had 3 in a lifetime you no longer need a tetanus booster.

That's what I got told by my GP in the Uk, as I worked with animals.

Tetanus vaccination
All young children are offered the tetanus vaccine as part of the routine NHS childhood vaccination programme.

The tetanus vaccine encourages the body to create antibodies (infection-fighting cells) that provide a defence against tetanospasmin. This provides protection from the illness should you become infected with the tetanus bacteria.

The full course of the tetanus vaccine consists of five doses. The primary course consists of three injections, which provide protection against the infection for a number of years. The fourth and fifth doses are booster doses, which help maintain protection.

After the fifth dose, immunity remains for life and further boosters are not usually required, unless there is doubt about a person’s vaccination history or you are travelling to a remote area of the world where treatment for a tetanus infection may not be readily available.
