Hospital for both or just head to chemist and then self administer the Tetanus.



Most of the Laboratories in North Cyprus will be able to do Cholesterol test

If you have had 5 in your lifetime you should be covered for life , but they will give you a Tetanus Immunoglobulin if you are in a Road Traffic Accident or get Soil or Maure in a wound

The hospital in Girne will give a tetanus injection .. A first injection .. A second injection one month later ..

A third after twelve months .. This gives you 5 years cover ..

I had it done in Jan/Feb next time Feb 2011 ..

Can't remember whether it was in my arm, my arse or my elbow .. But it didn't hurt a bit ..
