One of 5years old baby was bitten by 3years old baby. Baby got some ant size blood and the place where she was bitten is swollen(on her back). This affected baby has taken 18months scheduled vaccination of her. Can she now take Tetanus(T.T) injection? Please suggest. If we should take TT injection then by how many hours do she need to take injection.

Tetanus is not transmitted by human bites. So no need to be worried about tetanus. But DPT booster is normally due at 5 years. So please take DPT booster for 5 years.
