Tetanus is a bacterial illness that causes severe symptoms. This past week, a boy in Oregon cut his forehead while playing outside. He was patched up, but after a few weeks he began to feel very sick and had a lot of muscle spasms. He was taken to the ER where the doctor diagnosed him with tetanus. This was the first reported case of this disease in Oregon in 30 years.  This disease is preventable with a vaccination. However, this child was never vaccinated.

Moral of the story, have your kids vaccinated. Anti-vax isn’t cool.
