I try to get the hell away from them in case they are carrying. I need to ask my doctor whether, as a 48 year old person in this anti-science country, I need to get any shots updated. I had all mine growing up. It use to be that was sufficient, but with things the way they are now, I don't know. I did get a tetnus shot about 10 or 12 years ago do to a work injury, but that's it.
