Hi doctor, actually I was making my shave one month earlier and I had severe cut and I saw the blade was rusted and suddenly within few hours I got my tetanus shot may be one or two month earlier. Now yesterday I had same serious cut with same rusted blood. Is it important to take another tetanus injection. If I take it is it Overdose? Or how much maximum time previous injection activated?

You need not have to take another shot of Injection T.T. The validity of tetanus toxoid is 5 years unless there is severe injury
