I would be interested in who makes a safe(r) tetanus or any others.

Also, our family has a M.D. that only promotes four childhood vaccines. When
our first child was born, I questioned him on school exemption letters,
because I thought at the time that only some religions were allowed to object
across the board. He told me that basically all religions have some
guidelines such as "Don't harm your children", therefore, as long as you
believe that by following your faith means not vaccinating, you can
religiously object.
