I have a Tetanus related doubt

2024-01-23 13:16:56
I was given a tetanus injection (most probably DT) on 15th July 2023. Today (on 23 Jan 2024) I have a cut due to an iron object. I had small amount  bleeding too. Should I go for tetanus shot again?

Actually the adults don't get DT , they get only Tetvac. It is six months since you got your tetanus shot. If you take another injection now, you can be safe for the next 5 years.
