was - Re: tick bite, now - tetanus shot alone without D/P

[Guest guest]

As far as I know, there is no way to get it alone without the other components,

for infants/toddlers. Why do you feel you need the tetanus shot?

we removed it.  Looked like we got all of it.  Part of her scalp came out and

it bled very well.  I put peroxide on it and it scabbed over.  No redness,

irritation, swelling, etc.

Should I be concerned?  Anything I could give her if she is fighting

something?  I figure they will give me antibiotics at the doctor if I did go.
