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.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

If your skin gets pierced from anything, be it your own kitchen knife or a rusty old screw, it's worth making sure that your tetanus shot is up to date.

These vaccines protect over 95% of people from disease for approximately 10 years. Currently the cdc advisory committee on immunization practices recommends a booster shot every 10 years.

Immediately contact a good nearby hospital and get tetanus vaccine and immunoglobulin. Though the first symptom is usually jaw spasm, it would be better not to take a risk and get a physical checkup by a good doctor.

If your grandmother is not hiv positive or hepatitis b/c positive you don't need to worry. If you had a tetanus toxoid injection during past 5 years you don't need a dose. What you need to work upon is your weight because you are very obese.

Hello,

There won't be any other Side Effects.
Regards.

Ear piercing stud with a gun is done by a doctor and TT is not needed as the bay is will get DPT and other vaccines by 45 days of age. Better to do after the first DPDT injection.

You need not to take the vaccine again as your previous shot will act for 10 years.
Clean the wound with water and soap. Keep the wounded area clean to avoid infection. Take care.
