Hi all, I'm sorry if I'm being repetitive here, but I can't see any info on vaccination against tetatus specifically for us pmr sufferers. I'm well overdue a booster but am hesitant, especially as where I live the practice is to give a combined diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus and polio jab. On the other hand, I garden a lot and I know I really should protect myself against tetanus. Do any of you have any helpful information on this subject please?
I should add I'm living in Norway, and am in my early 70s, which may have some relevance.
Many thanks

Many thanks DorsetLady, I did try the search function but the links I've now been given didn't come up for some reasons - ah, the mysteries of the internet!
According to the link below, Norwegian Government policy is as follows:
"The Norwegian Institute of Public Health recommends that all adults get a booster dose of these vaccines every ten years. All the vaccines can be administered as a single shot."
Interestingly, "The vaccine itself costs approximately NOK 300 [about £22]. You must also pay an additional fee to have the vaccine administered, which varies from place to place."
