I took all the scheduled vaccinations in my childhood. And 2 years before I got a tt shot for dog bite. Now I got another accidental dog bite while feeding my dog. Do I need tt again? I heard we don't need tt for five years after getting one.

Yes you are right. No need for tt vaccination.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Adults who are bitten should receive a tetanus vaccine (called a tetanus toxoid vaccine) if the most recent tetanus vaccine was greater than 5 years previously. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a treatment plan for you.
