My daughter is 3.5 years old. Till now she had 4 shots of dtap vaccine. Today she fell down on road and injured her knee. Some bruise and little bleeding. Does she need a tetanus shot for this accident. Last shot received at the age of 2 years ie Aug 2016.

Hello sir, there is no need for a separate tetanus shot this time as your child is already immunised. She is protected from tetanus for atleast 5 years. So do not worry.
