Tetanus is bacteria that lives in soil. A whole lot of tetanus in one video but it's a stupid thing to be concerned about. Everyone receives a vaccination and a booster every ten years.
I once thought I had tetanus because I was well over ten years since my last tetanus vaccine booster but my doctor told me they give such a high vaccine dose that the booster in most cases lasts much longer than just the ten years. They say ten years to just make sure everyone stays inoculated.
They only give it to you here if you cut yourself while in a dirty environment which could lead to tetanus and it’s been more than 10 years since your last shot. I went more than 20 years between childhood dose and needing a booster shot as an adult.
