Question 3

is it safe for 70 year old female to take the pneumonia vaccine two weeks after the covid-19 booster dose. only thing is another person in same household got into possible stridor allergic reaction from booster. wondering should we wait longer?

Accepted Answer

: There is not enough information yet to definitively say not to take the vaccine two weeks after COVOD 19. The Pneumovax vaccine should have been given about 65 years old.

Question 4

are booster seats necessary?

Accepted Answer

Cut the risk: The use of belt positioning booster seats have been shown to cut the risk of injuries by half. Fancy aftermarket neck pads or belt adjusters may increase a passenger's risk of injury.

Question 7

why would i need to get a tetanus booster?

Accepted Answer

Protection wears off: The protection provided by a tetanus shot usually provides ample levels of circulating antibody protection for up to ten years. After that point it fades & the person may develop tetanus if exposed. Protection from tetanus & several other bacteria based vaccines does not last as long as most viral vaccines & must be boosted periodically to maintain protection.

Question 8

is it safe to take 2 test boosters at once?

Accepted Answer

Misinformed?: It is highly doubtful that your symptoms are due to a low testosterone level. Thus using a testosterone booster tells your system it does not need as much testosterone and your own production goes down. Using a booster should only be used if you have proven that your problem is low T and not something else.

Question 9

when do you have to get the tetanus booster?

Accepted Answer

Usually every 10 yrs: After the initial childhood series, a td (tetanus and diphtheria) booster is recommended every 10 yrs. If there is a significant wound, a booster is recommended if it has been 5 or more years since the last one. Also, one of the boosters is recommended in the form of a tdap (with an "acellular pertussis" or whooping cough component). A prevention iphone app with more info: my health checklist 2012.

Question 10

when is it too late to get a tetanus booster?

Accepted Answer

It's never too late: But if you have a wound / injury that could be contaminated while you were not protected it should be evaluated for infection ( as all significant skin wounds or injuries should be).
