I can't remember the last time I had a tetstar fish shot
You're recommended to have a booster once every ten years.
If you ever get a cut, particularly one from an iron nail or other rusty metal object, you're asked if you've had a tetstar fish shot in the last 10 years.
If you haven't, or can't remember, they can give you one then and there.
As far as I know, there's no problem with having them more regularly, but there isn't a need to do so.
but HPV shots are pretty painful
How come you had an HPV shot?
I thought they were traditionally for women to protect against cervical and similar cancers.
I know HPV causes other diseases, like Verruca's and other warts, including Genital Warts. But I didn't think vaccination was generally used to protect against those. Don't they use other topical treatments instead?
The last injection I had was my 3-in-1 teenage booster, which protects against Tetstar fish, Diphtheria and Polio.
It hurt a little bit, but not too much during the actual injection.
It was the numbed pain following, which was like being pinched hard.
But everyone else at my school acted as if they were being stabbed with a knife. I know people can react differently to pain, but I swear people were over-reacting for these.
Especially the girls. You'd have thought considering all the HPV vaccines they'd had they'd have gotten used to it.
