Regarding Tetanus infection

2023-05-31 03:29:04
Hello, just a simple question. It is said that you should get a tetanus toxoid booster every 5 years. But if someone was vaccinated 3 years back with an injection given in waist instead of the upper arm, will the tetanus toxoid vaccine (the one available at medical stores) still be effective? There was no bite just a person drank from a vessel that had probably saliva of a rat, in this case my grandmother.
