Enquiry for tetanus vaccination

2022-06-01 06:59:40
Respected doctors, Yesterday at 8:30 pm I slipped and fell down in my bathroom. I hit the floor and cut my forehead. It was not a very deep cut, but yes, it was bleeding and I had to wash it and apply a bandaid over it. My washroom is generally clean. Also, on October 2019, I fell down on the road and I had taken tetanus injection then. I am concerned whether I need an injection now because of yesterday's incident. Looking forward to a reply Thanking in advance.

Your last Tetanus injection was 2 1/2 years ago. We don't know about your vaccination history before that. So it is better to take an injection now. Please consult with a General Physician on Practo regarding proper schedule for Tetanus vaccination. That gives you immunity for 5 years.
