Hello.
Since you already received a tetanus vaccine on 24 October 2025, and this burn injury occurred on 7 March 2026, you are still well within the protective period. In such cases, another tetanus injection is usually not required because the vaccine protection generally lasts at least 5 years for wound protection.
Next steps:
Continue the local wound care as advised by your doctor. Using Silverex cream and keeping the burn area clean and covered helps prevent infection and supports healing.
Helpful tips:
• Keep the burn clean and dry
• Avoid touching or peeling the healing skin
• Watch for signs of infection like increasing redness, swelling, pus, or severe pain
If the burn is deep, not healing properly, or shows signs of infection, it would be advisable to get it examined for proper wound care and dressing advice. You may consult for further guidance if needed.
