Blade cut-Tetnus Required?

2024-05-27 06:38:34
My 5-year-old daughter cut her finger with a blade, which is bleeding. Does she need a tetanus shot for this, considering she has had the tetanus vaccine in the past? Please advise.

If she has received less than 3 doses in the past or if the status of vaccination is not known for certain, a repeat dose is warranted even in cases of minor or clean cuts
