I'm an RN and I don't like very many doctors. My first appointment with Dr. Weston was very impressive. He was extremely knowledgeable about my complicated medical history. He was thorough in explaining all my questions and concerns. His compassion with my "taking care of myself" was appreciated beyond words. I have never felt rushed or as if Dr. Weston wasn't completely listening to me. I completely trust Dr. Weston's evaluation and judgment. I could not have chosen a better provider. I've never had a problem with any staff member, but then again, my husband says I'm friendly. It doesn't take much, even when you're sick.

I have been to this facility in the past and also recently and have had wonderful experiences! This.past time I had a little bit of a wait but I did not sign in ahead and I think that would’ve improved matters. The care I received took care of my problem and they even called to check on me TWICE! The doctor was very pleasant. I would definitely recommend Doctors Care Walk-In in Little River, SC.

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.
