The US military basic trainee, enlisting at pay grade E-1, would be paid $1,531.50 monthly. However, successful completion of basic training is usually accompanied by promotion to E-2, earning $1,716.90 monthly. This promotion requires a (usually pro forma) commander's waiver and reduction of the normal minimum requirement for time-in-grade (6 months in grade E-1) for promotion to E-2 after only 4 months in grade E-1.
Over time, protection from tetanus decreases, so older children need to get a booster shot. It has a full dose of tetanus and lower amounts of diphtheria and pertussis. All people between the ages of 11 and 18 are advised to get the booster, preferably around 11 or 12 years old.
The other reason that patient got tetanus was that he hadnât had a tetanus shot since he was a young child. In the United States, babies are immunized against tetanus through a series of four vaccinations. Children then receive two tetanus booster shots between the ages of 4 and 12. After age 12, a tetanus booster shot usually is recommended every 10 years. Why are booster shots necessary? Because the immunity provided by a tetanus booster shot begins to wane after five to 10 years.
