Hi there,
I've been vaccinated against tetanus almost 9 years ago, and normally you're safe if it's been less then 10y. However, immune comprimised patients should get a vaccine sooner, they're talking about HIV patients and sometimes even people who take immunno suppressants, like prednison, imuran or cellcept. I'm very scared now, because I have a wound (I fell hard outside a week ago, thanks to weak legs) and did not get a new shot because it's been less then 10y and thought I was safe. I don't know if I have to consider myself "compromised", because I'm not like a person with HIV...I take immunosuppressants for years yeah, but it's not like I'm always having a cold or pneumonia or whatever. Very scared to take a boosting shot anyway "to be sure" because it can cause MG to flare?? They even say you need the full vaccine and some boosting shot if "immuno-compromised"... Anyone any thoughts? |
