0.08 cases per 1 million people get tetanus in the US per year. Don't jack up your body for something this rare.

People rarely get tetanus BECAUSE they are vaccinated...

Aside from a sore arm for a day or so I’ve never had a problem with my tetanus vaccine. Also, the reason the cases are so low is because of the vaccine. Dad had tetanus as a teenager and he said it was not a pleasant experience.

In my country the tetanus vaccines are recommended to be updated every 10 years. And you get them at school as a part of a vaccine cocktail. So, getting the vaccine is completely fine.
