Adults need immunizations, too
“Mothers warn children about
the dangers of stepping on a rusty
nail. Adults should recall mother’s
warning, too. Without the right
immunization, people can get a
hazardous tetanus infections from
such an injury,” warns Neil
Lesitsky, MD, president of the
4,000 member Pennsylvania
Academy of Family Physicians
(PAFP).
“Tetanus results when bacte-
'wiria enter a wound or injury. Then
the bacteria form a poison which
can cause powerful, painful and
potentially fatal muscle spasms,”
says Dr. Lesitsky. Tetanus is
called “lock jaw” because infected
patients often can't use their
muscles to open their mouths or
to swallow.
“Adults and teenagers comprise
the vast majority of tetanus vic-
Dr. Curtis Goodwin, Back
Mountain Eye Care Center, 170
N. Memorial Highway, Shaver-
town, is one of the first eye-care
professionals in Northeast Penn-
sylvania to become a participant
in the Beacon Eye Institute Refer-
gral Service, which provides ac-
cess to the latest technology,
photorefractive keratectomy (PRK)
tims because they aren't immu-
nized or don't receive booster
shots. Even if you had all of your
childhood tetanus vaccinations,
you still need to be reimmunized
every 10 years to maintain pro-
tection,” Dr. Lesitsky adds.
The shot may be covered under
your health insurance policy.
State law (Act 35 of 1992) requires
many insurers to cover tetanus
immunizations for children un-
der age 21 and, in some cases,
older dependents.
“Talk to your physician about
tetanus immunization. If you are
ill or had a reaction to a previous
immunization, your doctor may
not recommend a tetanus shot
right now. Report any reaction to
the vaccination (beyond the nor-
mal redness or soreness at the
vaccination site, the thigh) to your
and will be able to educate, coun-
sel, screen, and refer, candidates
for PRK, as well as give post-
procedural care to patients.
PRK is a vision-correction pro-
cedure, an alternate to reduce
dependency on glasses and con-
tact lenses. Unlike RK (Radial
Keratotomy), where incisions are
made in the cornea surgically with
doctor, too,” cautions Dr. Lesistky.
“Keep a record of your immuni-
zation — it's especially important
ifyou are injured inan accident to
know when you had your last
tetanus shot.”
Although there now are less
than 50 cases of tetanus reported
in the U.S. each year, about half
the victims will die from the infec-
tion, and they usually are adults.
Immunization has virtually wiped
out tetanus in children — the
childhood immunization sched-
ule calls for four vaccinations
between ages two months and 15
months, with a fifth at ages four to
six (before entering first grade).
Tetanus vaccinations often are
given in conjunction with dipth-
eria and pertussis (whooping
cough) vaccines as a DTP, a DTaP
or a Td.
