Tetanus 1.5Lf Vaccine Health Feed

Most studies have shown effectiveness for 10 years in majority of people. Hence Tetanus vaccine is recommended once every 10 years, as long as one has received the primary doses of 4 vaccines in childhood.
A severe injury or large wound would warrant earlier vaccination along with use of Tetanus Immunoglobulin.
Minor injuries need not be occasions to repeat the Tetanus Injection. Definitely not 4 times in 6 months.

Dear Lybrateuser,
- tt should be preferably taken within 48 hrs of the wound, if the wound has been cleaned with antiseptic solution & healed then tt is not required
- complete the full course of anti rabies vaccine which you are taking.

No you don't need to take again. Just clean the wound and do proper daily dressing with betadine ointment.

100% Dtap vaccine must give to children's.

Children's Vaccines. DTaP is a vaccine that helps children younger than age 7 develop immunity to three deadly diseases caused by bacteria: diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough (pertussis). Tdap is a booster immunization given at age 11 that offers continued protection from those diseases for adolescents and adults.

If you have taken TT 6 months ago you need to take it again . If you take 3 doses in another regime you need to take only in every 3 years

You have to take one dose in first 3 moths and a second dose in 6 months .The WHO also recommends that a third vaccine be given six months after the second dose to provide protection for at least five years.

If you have previously taken full dose of tetanus vaccine schedule 3/4 doses depending on type and site. And last dose is booster dose then small clean cut doesn't need a booster.
But nevertheless if you have any doubt or want abooster anyway, go for booster as after 4 weeks another booster won't do too much harm. Only minor fever and myalgia.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
If the wound is clean and you have not had a tetanus booster in the last 10 years, it is recommended that you receive one. If the wound is dirty or tetanus-prone, then your doctor would likely recommend a tetanus booster if you have not had a tetanus booster shot within the last five years.
