Does baby need titanus
My baby is 13 months old. Today he cut his finger from something, most probably medicine strips . There was some blood. Initial treatment is done. However I am worried if he should take tetanus injection to be safe. suggest.
As your child is already given tetanus at the time of birth at 6 weeks then at 10 weeks and then at 14 weeks of age so at this age there is no need to give any additional tetanus vaccine to the child.
Tetanus is covered in the vaccination schedule
