Can you tell me how i could convince my parents not to have my tetanus shot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why ever?: Tetanus is a dreadful disease and if you have not had a booster in 10 years you should do so.The only exception would be a terrible allergic reaction to the initial shot. Tetanus spores are around us everywhere, and can infect any cut in the skin and lead to tetanus.
