Tetanus injection, if had been taken 6 months ago, would be valid even today? How long does it give protection? I might have taken tetanus more than 3-4 times.

Five years it remains effective so no needs if taken already.

Protection begins to decrease after about 10 years, which is why doctors advise booster shots every decade. A doctor may recommend children and adults get a booster shot earlier if there's a suspicion they may have been exposed to tetanus-causing spores. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
