No, I think there are a lot of us who don't. But the point is that no matter what the reason, there is almost nobody with tetnus these days, so how could you catch it? I've heard that it is carried by horses. Some of my neighbors have horses, but I know there are a lot of people out there who haven't seen a horse in years. I wonder if horses have been secretly taking tetnus shots? And I wonder if the horse population has kept up with the human population over the last 100 years or so.
