+1 to AliceBleachWhite - one of the only people with an intelligent argument.
Vaccinations are not only for your protection, but for everyone else's. There was an outbreak of measles here in the UK not too long ago. And this was due to people not immunising their children, believing the MMR jab lead to autism - completely unfounded with no scientific evidence to support the claim.
I have had all sorts of vaccinations, shots and the like all through my life, starting from when I was a baby. I'm fine. No autism, not issues. I'm nearly 40.
I do not know of anyone who has developed autism from vaccinations. But them, I, and my peers, went to school and had an education. So, perhaps that's what separates us from those that have an irrational, unfounded fear of vaccinations equating to autism.

Vaccinations are one of the most controversial issues in modern medicine. Although the vast majority of the conventional medical community believes they are an example of “preventive medicine,” there is a growing community that strongly disagrees.
Many of the vaccines that are now “required” for children are not even medically necessary. At the top of my list of vaccinations that are highly questionable are the:
Hepatitis B vaccine
Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, Gardasil
Chicken pox vaccine
Flu vaccine
Get the Facts Before Vaccinating
For some of you, this may be the first you’re hearing about vaccinations’ potential for harm, and their questionable effectiveness. But please don’t take my word for it.
You have at your fingertips a very powerful tool to find out the facts: the Internet. On this site alone there are thousands of articles about vaccines, their potential side effects, and their dangerous history.
And remember, you still have the legal right to refuse to vaccinate your children. While all 50 states have immunization requirements, 28 allow parents to opt out for medical or religious reasons. Another 20 states allow parents to opt out for personal or philosophical reasons as well.
My previous article, How To Legally Avoid Unwanted Immunizations Of All Kinds, explains how you can go about practicing this right, and there is also an entire chapter in my book Take Control of Your Health devoted to this very topic.
Knowledge truly is power, and the more you know about vaccinations, the more empowered you’ll be to make the best decision for the health of you and your family.

In 1992 the US started outsourcing the inoculations to the UK and India, at that time Autism was 1- 500,000 now Autism is 1-7...

I think anything injected is potentially dangerous, as it unnaturally bypasses your body's system to reject it.
At least if you take something orally, your body can throw it back up.edit on 19/12/13 by NuclearPaul because: typo

The real problem is the viral epidemic of vaccination fear mongering perpetuated by a growing fringe who've resulted in coming near bringing back things like smallpox in the wild.
Vaccines protect not only you, and your children, but other people, and their children, especially in cases where people or their children happen to suffer from compromised or weak immune response due any number of reasons.
Not vaccinating is more dangerous than vaccinating because it not only threatens the person who doesn't vaccinate, but, potentially everyone around them.

While it's true that unvaccinated children can put immunocompromised people at risk, there is far more risk from being around RECENTLY VACCINATED people, they shed virii. And it's not like they go around with signs around their necks. Most of the recent outbreaks have been in vaccinated people, what's that tell you?
If I was immune compromised or my child was, I would limit their exposure to crowds as much as possible, it's really the only way because you can't force others to inject something into their body to protect you. A healthy diet will also obviously help. The 'you have to get it to protect me' is propaganda of the worse kind, especially in a free society. It's highly possible that all the 'immunocompromised people' are immunocompromised BECAUSE THEY'VE HAD SO MANY VACCINES AND IT'S DAMAGED THEIR SYSTEMS!
And Alice Bleach White, small pox was completely eradicated from the globe except a few carefully protected vials for 'research purposes'. If it ever gets out, yes, it will be a nightmare. But it hasn't recurred in the general population.
I don't trust the medical establishment anymore after working with them for 30 years; the doctors are not allowed to openly discuss, nor do most report side effects of vaccines; there is way too much denial and the research is done by people with an agenda, a very large monetary one. The vaccination schedule that is recommended now for children under six is a nightmare of multiple disease shots starting at birth. It's an obscenity:
FORTY NINE DOSES OF FOURTEEN VACCINES BEFORE AGE SIX. MORE THAN 2.5 BILLION DOLLARS HAS BEEN PAID OUT TO INJURED PARTIES FROM A LITTLE-KNOWN VACCINE DAMAGE COMPENSATION FUND, MOST FOR CHILDREN WITH EXTREME NEUROLOGICAL DAMAGE.

It's about damn time the medical profession started wondering where all the autistic and hyperactive and neurologically compromised kids who can't even read or hold still are coming from. The IQs in this country and Europe has been dropping since the 1960s even while the tests have become easier.
To answer the OP's question, you CAN DEMAND a straight tetanus shot without any other vectors in it and I wouldn't hesitate to have a booster after an injury like you had. Tetanus is a horrible way to die and it's a matter of risk benefit profiles. I refuse any other vaccinations, as I am also one of those 'immunocompromised persons', after a series of shots I had before nursing school, 1970. Go figure.
If there was a vaccine which could prevent ignorance and reduce inherent levels of stupidity would you take it?
Or would you not see its benefit?

For all the pro-vaccinaters who trust Big Pharma and their scientific research, assuring that vaccines are safe....how's that working for you and your teenage daughter?
A new study published in the journal Vaccine has brought to light an extremely disturbing though still virtually unreported dark side to immunization campaigns within low-income countries, namely, the observation that infant mortality sometimes increases when the number of co-administered vaccines increases; a finding diametrically opposed to the widely held belief that vaccination is always a life-saving intervention, and that the more vaccines administered to infants the better.

I have 1 teenage daughter and one soon-to-be. Both have had vaccinations all their lives and both are very healthy and fine. Why are you on about?

Nope. You're being one of the those types who professes to know things other don't and then acts cryptic with your alleged information rather than be helpful and provide details.
If you're talking about the cervical cancer vaccination (which I don't know why you wouldn't just say it and not act like a child) then yes, well informed and nothing on www.nhs.uk... that we don't already know.
So, either provide a link, or sod off with your paranoid delusions.
