Suncoast Humane Society feels that it is important for all volunteers to be current on their tetanus vaccinations if they will be handling animals as a Suncoast Humane Society volunteer.

If a volunteer has a question about the tetanus vaccination heor she is encouraged to consult a physician, at the volunteer’s own expense, to decide whether or not to be vaccinated against tetanus.

I have read, understand and agree to the above. Furthermore, I release Suncoast Humane Society from all responsibility that may occur because of my not being vaccinated against Tetanus and I understand that whatever decision I make regarding a Tetanus vaccination, is at my own risk.
