Just a little nagging and a reminder from a nurse: even adults need to update their immunizations. Tetanus shots should be repeated every 10 yrs. (Of course, it had been about 12 since my last one LOL). This is especially important for people who do a lot of gardening. OK-enough nagging.
I second janRN...I'm also in nursing (LPN for over 40 yrs)...Keep those immunizations up-to-date! (Okay, I'm done nagging.)
