Friendly Staff

The staff were patient, courteous and professional. A total contrast to my visit last year when the other personnel including the doctor were rude, inconsider and did not care about me or my situation and the reason I swore to not return. But based on my experience today, I will continue to return.

Went in as walk-in and I was 1st one. Reception was nice and friendly. With in minutes, I was in exam room and RN walked in right after my blood pressure and temp. were taken. She had already tested urine specimen which confirmed my suspicion of UTI. RN went over several new things for me to try. Called in prescription and I was on my way to better health. It was thoroughly a good and professional experience. The staff was very professional and, " I would recommend Ascension St. Thomas Urgent Care to any one who wants the best care from those who do care!

Walked in for lingering flu-like symptoms, which turned out to be a bacterial infection. Entire process took under an hour, and the antibiotics that I was prescribed were very effective. Everyone was extremely friendly and professional. I will be using this provider again in the future.

About Tetanus Shots

A tetanus shot is used to prevent tetanus, also known as lockjaw. Tetanus is a bacterial infection that can lead to painful muscle spasms, and oftentimes, death. Adults in the US have to be vaccinated against tetanus because there's currently no cure for it and roughly 10 to 20 percent of victims die from tetanus. Symptoms of tetanus come from a toxin produced by tetanus bacteria and usually begin appearing about a week after the infection occurs. The most common symptom is muscle stiffness that begins in the jaw and spreads to the neck, arms, legs, or abdomen, but other symptoms include trouble swallowing, headache, fever and sweating, irritability and restlessness, high blood pressure, palpitations, and muscle spasms in the face.

It's important to get treated for tetanus as soon as you know you're infected because if it's not treated quickly enough, you can die from suffocation. Tetanus shots are given in the shoulder muscle. If you've never had a tetanus shot before, you might be given a three-dose primary series. You'll get the first dose as a three-in-one combination called Tdap that prevents tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), and diphtheria (Td). The other two doses will usually be a dual vaccine and you'll receive them over a 7 to 12 month period. You should receive a tetanus vaccine between 2 months and 6 years old, as well as a teenager and an adult. Pregnant women might need a tetanus shot during the third trimester of pregnancy.
