Radiation and tetanus shot?
I finished radiation treatments at the end of Jan. My primary care dr wants me to have a tetanus shot but was not sure if I can have one after radiation. Does anyone know?

Re: Radiation and tetanus shot?
Why does your doctor want you to have a tetanus shot?

Re: Radiation and tetanus shot?
If it's just a booster I would wait a while and give your body a chance to recover and rebuild your immunity. Don't overstress your body while it's trying to heal. They suggest every 10 years but it's not written in stone. If you receive a serious injury they will give you a tetanus shot anyway so I wouldn't bother with it. Take care
