To which vaccine is the corpsman referring?

a) Adenovirus

agree tetanus; it's from QBank ,I think..

i answered tetanus 'cause I had the same thing with one of them, but at the time I didn't know the mecanism and it turned out right..

th mec: prior immunization w/ tetanus toxod in the same place in less than 5 years produces an arthus reaction at the second immunization in the same place.
