My son had reactions to the DPT that our pediatrician said were "normal". They were not. Thank God people started speaking up and I did my own research. Found a vaccine in Japan that did not cause the problems the USA one did. Our pediatrician agreed and used that vaccine for his next shots. At my age, I'm overdue for "Tetnus shot", by almost 20 years. The only one available has Pertusis and Diptheria in it. I'm not taking that garbage. My doctor told me that I was on my own to find just a T shot and "good luck" in finding one. Why would adults, middle aged + need a Diptheria and Pertussis shot?
Tetanus shots are still available. It sounds like your doctor just doesn't want to give you one. I had to get one when I was a child after I stepped on a nail. The home treatment back then in the 60s was to soak my foot in a pan of kerosene to pull the poisons out.

We don't nor do our children or grandchildren.
