A dog bite me and I went to a hospital but they didn't give me the tetanus injection and when my course was half completed, I asked doctors about it and they injected me the injection of tetanus (in the middle of my course and it wasn't completed) so is there any side effect of it?

Hello, Tetanus Toxid Injection should be given within 7-8 hours of Bleeding Injury. If given afterwards, it won't have any effect on the occurred injury, but you will be protected from Clostridium Tetani infection, over next 6 months, for future bleeding injuries. There won't be any other Side Effects. Regards.
