> They finally stopped giving them when a study in Europe proved that the vaccine they used was almost 100% ineffective in preventing typhoid fever. The trama of all of this has stayed with me for 55 years. I think I can safely say that most of the injections I have had in my lifetime did me no good at all and some were harmful. I refuse flu shots and tetnus shots on a regular basis. That may be a mistake with reguards to flu, but in my whole life, I have never known anybody who had tetnus. I think the tetnus epidemic is exaggerated.

Yea, I have to agree about tetanus ; I've never heard of anyone who caught it, and I'm well involved with scouts and such.

But shots are somewhat effective. And the kind of symptoms you described would warrant a visit to the doctor, with today's shot..
