Other major arteries have similar levels of blood pressure recordings indicating very low disparities among major arteries. In the innominate artery, the average reading is 110/70 mmHg, the right subclavian artery averages 120/80 and the abdominal aorta is 110/70 mmHg.
A vaccine can prevent tetanus. It is given as a part of routine childhood immunization. Adults should get a tetanus shot, or booster, every 10 years. If you get a bad cut or burn, see your doctor - you may need a booster. Immediate and proper wound care can prevent tetanus infection.
Another shot is usually administered between the ages of 15 and 18 months, and again between the ages of 4 and 6. But these tetanus shots guard against disease only for so long, requiring adults to have repeated booster shots at least every 10 years. The 10-year duration of the tetanus shot requires vaccination against the clostridium tetani bacteria several times during an individual's life span.
