ferrets?

( Only the immune response to toxins (such as tetanus) requires boosters...)

30 years ago my job required me to have tetanus shots every year, then it
was
ever 5 years and in 1990 it went to every 10 years. Apparently we were
building anti-bodies to the tetanus vaccine and defeating its object. It
makes
you wonder about some of the other shots.
