Thinking about those parents whose kid almost died of tetanus, and after receiving nearly a million dollars in care which included the tetanus vaccine, they declined to give him a preventative tetanus vaccine (or any other ones) post treatment. Kid was on a ventilator for 44 days
Unvaccinated boy nearly died from tetanus. The cost of his care was almost $1 million.
6-year-old was infected in 2017 while playing on the family's farm, the first case of tetanus in Oregon in 30 years, according to a CDC report.
