[MCOH-EH] - diphtheria toxin work and vaccinations

[Gochnour, Michelle K.]

If you have workers using diphtheria toxin, how frequently do you provide vaccination booster?  Do you titer as well to ensure levels of antibody (IgG)?  I have a researcher suggesting he should have more frequent boosters than 10 years (as needed for tetanus).  Thoughts?
