Concern regarding Tetanus vaccination
I had taken anti tetanus toxoid or vaccine that we get in medical stores in India, in September 2021, November 2022 and most recent in July 2023 due to various exposures.
Actually I had shaved today and after 5 to 7 minutes, I had touched a cast iron utensil to lift vessels (pakad) and accidently rubbed my hands on my cheeks meanwhile. There was no noticeable blood flowing by then.
To simply put do I need a vaccine again or I am protected as it is not even 1 year since I took my last tetanus vaccine in July, 2023? What is the duration of immunity imparted by the vaccine usually?
