Description

Mark Slifka, Ph.D., works in his lab at OHSU. A new review led by Slifka, suggests doing away with tetanus and diphtheria booster shots for adults altogether, as long as childhood vaccination rates remain high.

For generations, adults in the U.S. have been told to roll up their sleeves for a tetanus and diphtheria booster every 10 years. But new research from Oregon Health & Science University suggests this long-standing advice may be outdated — and unnecessarily costly.
