My daughter wants to work with animals - most of the animal rescue centres are requiring a recent tetanus vaccination. She is considering that the easiest thing for her to do will be to have the vaccination for the sake of the paperwork and use supplements and homoeopathic remedies to counter any effects.
Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations to share about this?

Tetanus vaccination
Re: Tetanus vaccination
Hi Gail
I run a sanctuary (though I am winding down now and in theory no new
animals are being taken in - unless they turn up on my doorstep). I
have been bitten on numerous occasions and yet have never had a tetanus
injection before or after any of those bites. As with all other
diseases I would say that the risks are massively hyped. Actually, I
hardly ever even bother to take a remedy after a bite because I am very
lax about seeing to myself. I can't recall a bite ever becoming
infected. I have friends involved in rescue who pump in antibiotics at
every bite, and also go down the route of tetanus injections, and yet
they always seem to have problems with bites becoming infected, badly
swollen and painful. Personally I wouldn't be prepared to destroy my
health for a job. If I was her I would look for forward thinking
rescues, as they would also be the ones most open to treating the
animals in alternative ways and would be more rewarding to work for.
There is nothing more depressing than wanting to save animals and yet
seeing their health destroyed because the rescues vaccinate, pile in
steroids and every other sort of obnoxious drug. Perhaps if you give
your daughter's area there might be someone on the list who knows of
rescues in her area that wouldn't insist on tetanus.

Re: Tetanus vaccination
Thanks Kerry,
I agree with you - but it is her decision, and she is not the sort of personality to
make a strong stand, especially when it is more about what I say rather than
what she has researched and learned about for herself.
We are in Perth Western Australia. I am a bit worried that she wants to do an
internship in America sometime in the next few years - and that is supposed to
require a whole list of vaccinations to get into the country for study or work.

Deep puncture wounds are when there is more of a

that it really isn't that common (most adults are not vaccinated).

http://www.whale.to/vaccine/tetanus1.html
Letter to Mothering Magazine, Number 70, Spring 1994
Dear Marilyn Lowe (Fall 1993),
I, too, had an adverse reaction to a tetanus
booster shot. When I was 13 years old, I had a
mysterious illness, and I discovered only a few
years ago that I had received a booster shot
several days before becoming ill. Subsequent
reading confirmed that my symptoms were similar
to those of others who had had adverse reactions to the tetanus vaccine.
I spiked a fever over 105° F and had swelling and
stiffness in my joints. I was admitted to
hospital, and quarantined until the fever
subsided. The day after I was released, all my
joints became excruciatingly painful, whereupon I
was admitted to a different hospital for a
battery of tests-all of which, including one for
rheumatoid arthritis, were negative. Despite
this, I was labeled as having juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
Now, as a 30 year old, my joints still ache in
damp weather and when I become ill. I have
written to our government to demand that a
parent's right to choose vaccination be federally guaranteed.

Our daughter is autistic not from MMR but
possibly from a tetanus vaccination. The ins and
outs of this whole subject are extremely complex
but I believe there are enough 'coincidences' to
suggest that there is a link between MMR and
autism. However, this is only one factor in the
whole autism spectrum. Governments should be
sitting up and asking why autism is on such a
massive increase in our global society. What
changes in our environment and the way we have to live are causing this?

Hi,
thanks for your wonderful, very interesting
website. As a victim of a tetanus shot 7 years
ago I´m still suffering from relapsing GBS-like
symptoms.And the most doctors I visited denied
any possible side efects of tetanus vaccinations.
Do you have more experience with adverse
reactions to that immunization? I look forward to hear from you
Thanks so much for your information regarding the
possible adverse-reactions to tetanus
vaccinations. I really appreciate it a lot.
As you might know, there is such a cover-up going
on in regard to the side-effects of vaccinations
in general, which makes it very very difficult to
find a doctor to make the right diagnosis. And
without a right diagnosis there is no chance of
an effective treatment. It took 7 years until
I´ve been now treated with immunglobulines.
Those infusions improved the rate and intensivity of relapses.
As my symptoms are very much like GBS-symptoms,
but my nerve- conduction has been normal in the
beginning, I really don´t know whether I´m
suffering from GBS or Polyneuropathy. Do you know
of some other cases with normal nerve conduction in the beginning?
I would apreciate it a lot if you could name me a
doctor who has experience with treating vaccination related illnesses.
Thanks a lot and have a nice weekend.
................And after she wrote me she said
she found 3 other people with serious reactions.

(I personally don't feel this is a contaminated booster, just a normal
vaccine that I have seen wreck havoc in people's bodies
Sheri)
Dear Friends,
I don't know where to turn anymore for help. I don't think any of you
will have received this shot, because so many of you don't get
vaccinations. So, you're not the right audience, but maybe you will
have an idea, or maybe just let me vent, and for that I am grateful.
I would like to share my experience with you. I have written before
about wanting to find other people who had received the same tetanus
booster that I received, and I appreciate all of the information that
many have sent to me, but I was still unable to locate anyone. I've
decided to be more specific about my experience, in the hopes that
maybe someone would have an idea about how I could proceed. I
believe the shot I received was contaminated. Therefore, I believe
that every person who received that shot was injured. And on the face
of things, it would seem to be a pretty simple thing to determine if
anyone else was hurt, but everything I have tried up to now has been
futile.
In June of 2000, I had a heart attack in the middle of the night. I
have no history of heart disease and am not in a high risk group. In
the seven weeks prior to that, I had a series of seemingly minor,
unrelated symptoms. However, in the months following the heart
attack, I suffered with a complex progression of symptoms. At first
only my arm was affected, but then my neck, throat, diaphragm,
stomach, heart, and rectum. These symptoms passed methodically from
one area to the next, the time between symptoms proportional to the
distance between the areas affected. Other symptoms included tight
jaw, raised eyebrows, seizures, apnea, fluctuating blood pressure,
sensitivity to cold, dry eyes and dry mouth, weight loss, and
neuropathy. My symptoms were similar to tetanus, but were presenting
themselves sequentially, over a longer period of time. We believe my
symptoms were caused by tetanus toxin.
The CDC has an article about tetanus and the effects of tetanus toxin
on its website. According to that article, tetanus toxin is one of
the most powerful neurotoxins known. It attaches to the nerve cells,
travels only millimeters per day to the brain stem, and down the
spine. Once attached, there is nothing one can do to stop or slow its
progress. It damages the inhibitory neurons, causing an inability to
relax a contracted muscle. It can affect the autonomic nervous system
which controls things like breathing, heart rate, and digestion.
In April of 2000, I had gotten a tetanus booster shot, at my request,
because I stepped on something in the garden. Tetanus toxoid vaccines
get their immune response from formaldehyde treated toxin, called
toxoid. This treatment inactivates the toxin, allowing the body to
create antibodies to the toxin without getting the disease. I believe
something went wrong with this part of the manufacturing, and some, or
maybe all of the toxin in the shot I received remained potent. This
happened once before in Hungary in 1952. A pertussis shot that had
inadvertantly been contaminated with tetanus toxin, was given to 22
patients. Eleven of them died. The government did not acknowledge
the event until 1997. (See the medical journal Lancet (11/22/97)
Vol.350, No. 9090, P. 1518)
In the summer of 2000, all the right things were done in terms of
reporting my experience to the FDA and CDC. My doctor and I both
filed reports with VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System), who
requested copies of my medical records. And since then, the nation
has had a critical tetanus vaccine shortage, so I am confident that
any other unsafe lots have been removed from the market. But it has
been over a year and there has still not been any official
confirmation.
I am concerned that other people who received that shot did not
survive the heart attack. I know that if I had died at that point, my
family and friends would have been shocked that I had had a heart
problem, and would not have considered a causal relationship to the
tetanus booster. In fact, except for my husband, my family did not
even know I received a booster. I want to provide people with a
description of my symptoms, so that if they had a family member who
died suddenly after similar symptoms, they can check to see if the
person had had a tetanus booster 1 to 2 months before.
The following is a timeline of my symptoms:
Day 1: Received tetanus booster. Minor involuntary contraction of
forearm muscle when arm is at rest a short time after shot.
Day 2 and 3: Weak, nauseous, and in bed. Unable to lift arm very
high. Arm is NOT red, NOT swollen, NOT painful to the touch.
Day 20: Stiff neck on right side in back. Cannot turn head to right.
Day 21: Sunburn feeling on neck on right side in back.
Day 26 and 27: Weak, nauseous, and in bed.
Day 39 to 55: Increasingly hyperactive with flashes of euphoria, very
little sleep. If asked at that time, I would have said, "I feel
better than I have in 10 years. I have so much energy." (I was
checked for hyperthyroidism, which my doctor determined was not
causing my symptoms)
Day 51: Short of breath, throat feels tight.
Day 52: Woke up with burning in pectoral muscle, left side. Entire
diaphragm contracted. Stomach contracted into "fist". Given valium
and benadryl at emergency room.
Day 55: Heart attack in the middle of the night.
The involuntary contraction of my forearm persisted during the entire
7-8 week period. It was most prevalent in the evening and in the
morning upon waking. It was not painful to touch or to move. In
fact, I kept moving it to avoid feeling it contract up. It was
visibly subtle and would not be noticed unless I pointed it out. The
only symptom really visible to family was the increasing
hyperactivity. It was not subtle and was clearly apparent to my
doctor. I had very rapid, animated speech and an inability to
sit still. I appeared happy and very excited. I paced. And although
they couldn't actually "see" my nausea and weakness, they could see I
didn't feel well and was in bed those 2 times. They couldn't
"see" my diaphragm and stomach contract when I went to the emergency
room upon waking on day 52, but they could see I was very panicked and
afraid that something was terribly wrong.
I am 5'3" tall. I would think that for a person smaller than me, the
timeline of symptoms would be shorter than mine, proportional to the
difference in size. I requested the file of reported events for the
lot number of this vaccine from VAERS, and the list specifies the
state that the patient was from. This lot # was given across the
country. Reports were filed showing shots were given from Jan/2000
through Aug/2000.
A tetanus booster given to anyone over the age of 7 would be the
adult booster, the same as I received. I would be happy to share
information about the manufacturer and lot # of my shot with anyone
whose family member died suddenly 1 to 2 months after receiving a
tetanus booster.
I thank you for your time and giving me the opportunity to share this.
I'm sorry this is so long. I wanted to be as thorough and accurate as
I could be.
Thank you,
Diane

Well, then scare her to death about the vaccine to save her life
If that happens contact me
Most of those requirements for long lists of vaccines is for those
wanting a more permanent residency in the US, not just for school or
internship.
Sounds like she needs for you to give her a serious course in the
dangers of vaccines

Re: Tetanus vaccination
For general information and background, here's an old but very information-packed post of Will Taylor's, on tetanus.

Worldwide, there are an estimated 300,000 - 500,000 cases of tetanus per year. The tetanus bacillus survives best in soil rich with organic matter in hot, damp climates, and is more prevalent in densely populated regions. It is rare in polar regions and relatively uncommon in the northern temperate zones.
There are less than 100 documented cases of tetanus in the U.S. annually. The majority of U.S. cases are in persons over 50, and only 5% of U.S. cases are in persons under 20 years old (i.e., there are less than 5 cases per year in children and adolescents in the U.S.). The highest incidence in the U.S. is among the poor in the southern states. Necrotic skin ulcers, burns, surgical wounds and IV drug use may create anaerobic lesions that invite a disproportionate number of tetanus cases; but it may also complicate simple lacerations and puncture wounds, dental infection, otitis media, miscarriage and abortion, and infection of the umbilical stump of newborns.
In the years just prior to widespread vaccination, there were approx. 500 tetanus cases in the U.S. per year. Some of the subsequent decrease can be attributed to vaccination, and some to reduced exposure and continued improvements in wound care. About 87% of U.S. children have received a primary series of tetanus vaccination, and temporary immunity is confered transplacentally to newborns from vaccine-immune mothers. Adults often do not receive the CDC (U.S. Centers for Disease Control) recommended tetanus booster vaccinations, and 1/3 to 2/3 of adults 60 or older lack circulating tetanus antitoxin antibody.
The case-fatality rate of tetanus world-wide is 45%, and in the U.S. is about 30% for persons over 50, and less than 5% in persons under 50. When symptoms occur within 2-3 days of injury, the mortality rate nears 100%. In 20% of morbid cases, death is attributable to the the direct effects of tetanus toxin, through cardiovascular and pulmonary events. Pneumonia related to aspiration and atelectasis is a common late complication, and is the major immediate cause of mortality following tetanus. Most survivors recover completely within 4 weeks. Natural infection typically does not confer immunity.
Conventional medical management of tetanus will reflect the severity of the case, but involves both conservative/supportive measures that even Hahnemann or Ernest Farrington would not frown at, including intensive-care-unit nursing and observation, debridement & drainage of the originating wound, IV fluid & electrolyte management, avoidance of respiratory secretion aspiration, tracheostomy in more severe cases and bedside preparation for this in milder cases. I think it's important to realize that conventional medical care in most parts of the world monopolizes access to this level of supportive care, with the allopathy as a side-dish. In addition to these supportive measures, allopathic pharmacologic management involves administration of human or equine tetanus immune globulin, mild sedation and pharmacologic management of muscle spasm. These measures do reduce the case-fatality ratio.
Those less-than-100 cases per year (happily) don't give many of us experience with this illness. I've seen only one case, in a burn-unit patient, way back in my residency days. Even back when there were 500 cases/year in the U.S., and in regions where this is a more prevalent disease, it is unlikely that any individual will accumulate any real experience in treating it.
Read the Materia Medica on Ledum and on Hypericum in J.T. Kent, M.L. Tyler, and J.H. Clarke. I don't find in the literature a plethora of cured tetanus cases, but there is mention of a few. An anamnesis of the collective pathological symptoms of tetanus certainly does bring up Ledum and Hypericum as front-runners in the treatment of individual cases of this disease. I would be hesitant to tackle it without recourse to the supportive measures of hospital managment.
