It’s also called lockjaw because the infection often causes muscle contractions in the jaw and neck. However, it can eventually spread to other parts of the body. Tetanus is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment in a hospital. Fortunately, tetanus is preventable through the use of a vaccine. However, this vaccine does not last forever.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
You may need a tetanus vaccine if the injury has broken your skin and your tetanus vaccinations are not up to date. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a treatment plan for you.

I do not think so. A single shot of tt helps for upto 5 years. Keep the wound clean and dry. Lookout for any purulent discharge.

Yes you require to take inj TT again, irrespective of the size of the wound or presence of rust etc., The previous injections protection is over.

The effect of TT injection will be there for one year and if a course of three injections are taken one month apart the immunity can last upto 3 years and thereafter can be repeated once every year.

Tetanus is apt to occur in deeply cut wounds and abrasion will not be risky .But anyway it is safe to get a TT for any future risks

Ideally if you take 3 doses of TT , one month apart you can have immunity for one year and can repeat it with one injection every year

An anti-tetanus serum is not required in routine injuries. It is only recommended in an intensively crushed and dirty wound, in which case it is given within the first six hours after the injury. A routine tetanus toxoid is also not necessary if one is previously fully immunised. In case one is not, then the toxoid is administered within the first 24 hours after the injury.

There is no need for repeated tt injection. The effect of injection taken one year ago will be there.
