Tetanus Questions

Please take the vaccine if not taken in past 2-3 yrs. How is your bite site, any discharge / any fever?

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
If the wound is clean and you have not had a tetanus booster in the last 10 years, it is recommended that you receive one. If the wound is dirty or tetanus-prone, then your doctor would likely recommend a tetanus booster if you have not had a tetanus booster shot within the last five years.

The likelihood of tetanus is greatest following deep, dirty puncture wounds where there is little bleeding and an absence of oxygen. In this case no need of tet vac in my opinion.

As per clinical medical publications available you should wait for a minimum period of 30 days. For further enquiry watsapp mobile.

If you took the tetanus vaccine, no need to take it again but if you took only preformed antibodies (anti tetanus serum), you should take a shot now.

Hey don't worry too much. Tetanus bacteria is present in soil/animal faeces etc. Clean surfaces/ hands don't harbor the bacteria. Moreover, it only spreads through cuts/ wounds. It can't penetrate intact skin. So you won't get tetanus that easily. Try to prevent yourself from washing hands repeatedly even if you feel they are dirty. You will gradually be able to curb the habit.

As your taking bed rest for long it's due to this only, do some stretching exercises it will be fine.

important method of preventing tetanus is cleaning out the wound as thoroughly as possible. The wound can be washed with clean water, and soap can be used to clean the area around the wound.

If the injured person hasn't had a tetanus shot in the past five years and the wound is deep or dirty, your doctor may recommend a booster. The injured person should have the booster shot within 48 hours of the injury.
