Question:
Need a doctor's help! Tetanus booster Question?
I'm having problems regarding my vaccinations. In order to enroll in college, I must provide evidence of my medical vaccination records, including evidence I have received a Tetanus booster within the past 10 years. I believe I received one in 2000, but my doctor does not have a record of such at that time. I believe this is a paperwork error, as she has evidence I took a tuberculosus test at that time, and I can almost swear I had both done at the same time.
My question is, lets say I have to get a tetanus booster now to comply with the vaccination demands of my school. Lets say I am also correct that I had one in 2007. Is this bad for my health, having the booster done twice within 7 years?

Opps, typo above.
It should state, "Let's say I'm correct that I received a booster in 2000" not "2007".

Td or Tetanus booster is recommended ev every 7 yrs now, 5 yrs if you have a high risk occupation. On the PPD or tuberculosis, it has to be done yrly.
