Here in the UK I went to my doctor a few months ago for a few minor ailments and asked about a booster for my tetanus jab I had many years ago. He said that current research has shown that if you have had a tetanus jab you don't need a booster any more. He did say that in an emergency, an accident etc. they might give you a shot just in case but there is no point in the booster for every day stuff. I mentioned it because I do a lot of gardening.

I think I will go with this view, since I have a really intense dislike of needles.

It is, however, things like this that bothers me about modern medicine. They are forever changing their recommendations. I understand that it is often because new information becomes available or longer term studies are finally finished, but it can get very confusing. And, as Mike V points out, there is often not a consensus.
