Visit ER immediately, injury happened on Saturday, the child is already approaching the critical 48-to-72-hour window where post-exposure prophylaxis is most effective.
While his initial three infant doses provide a baseline level of protection, a missed booster means his immunity is not fully up to date for handling a recent, deep, or contaminated wound.
A healthcare provider needs to evaluate the cuts immediately to determine if an urgent booster or a tetanus immune globulin shot is necessary.
