Asked for Female, 21 years old from Delhi

I got a minute scratch from my dog’s teeth. He’s 3.5 months and fully vaccinated. Do I need to get a tetanus shot?

Dr. Shahana Muneer85%(13 ratings)

General Physician•Malappuram

Depends on your last tetanus shot. If you have completed tetanus shots in the last 10 years then you don't need one. If not, I wud advice you to get one. However, observe your dog to avoid any complications.

There will be no visible side effects if you unnecessarily take anti-tetanus shots frequently i.e. Every 5 months. It will not give any extra benefits either.

Asked for male, 38 years old from Junagadh

I got a single tetanus shot 6 months ago and I am not given full course of vaccination before. Do I need it again in case of deep wound?

General Physician•Hisar

Yes.
You need full course if you have not previously ever gotten full course.
If you have taken full course and last booster shot was 6 months ago then you don't need vaccinated.
Although there is no contradiction if you still want a booster.

Tetanus vaccine will be effective for 10 years. If your wound is minor or uncontaminated, if you have taken booster within past 10 years then re-vaccination is not required now. Still if you want you can take. There are no major adverse effects with tt.

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
