The effect lasts for 6 months. Unless you wanted to have continuous protection for tetanus, you do not require repeat injections. Only when there is an injury or cut in your skin you will need to protect yourself. But for some reason if you wanted to have life long protection, approach your local doctor for giving it as a regime

Hi lybrate-user,
tdap is a vaccine against tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis and some vaccines also protect against polio.
Now a days vaccination in pregnancy provides better protection of mother and newborn against these diseases which are quite prevalent in newborns.
Tt just protects the newborn from neonatal tetanus.
Therefore tdap is better than tt.
It should be taken in 3rd trimester ideally 28-32 weeks.
I can recommend good tdap vaccines if you are interested.

You do not need a second tt now as were wounded by a nail. Please understand that is not the rusty nail that is the culprit in tetanus but it is the depth of wound where anaerobic tetanus bacteria an inhabit.

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.

It is the first vaccine that the doctor will ask your child to get if he/she gets wound. Tetanus is a rare but severe condition which occurs when bacteria enter into an open wound. It can turn fatal if left untreated, so you need to follow the vaccination schedule in order to control the infection. Indulging in substance abuse (especially the ones that require injecting with syringes) increases the risk of tetanus.
