Is TT injection necessary

2022-05-08 12:01:18
I got a small scratch and blood came out with iron wiper lightly rusted at public washroom. I received a TT injection with 3-4 years back due to some other injury. Is it necessary to get it again?

There is a laid down schedule of three doses of Tetvac taken at specified interval. Then the immunity lasts for 5 years and one should take booster dose every five years. Other than that every one should take Tetvac at the time of injury.

Take only if it has been more than 5 years of your previous TT booster.

Wash it properly with soap and water then apply betadine ointment. No need to take TT injection .
