No need to take tt injection if you have already taken the dose 2.5 years back. Next booster dose after 10 years of previous dose. Just take wound care till it heals completely. Hopefully you have got your answer.

The single injection by tt induces the immunity production by the body and helps you against tetanus, you need to take it until after on year as you are already immunised well.

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.

Tdap vaccination for adolescents is recommended at age 11–12 years. A 10-year-old who is already up to date on diphtheria/tetanus/pertussis vaccines and gets a tdap vaccine for any reason does not need to receive another tdap at age 11–12 years.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
