Regarding Tetanus vaccine

2022-05-18 10:13:58
I took a tetanus toxoid injection for a cut 5 months before. Today I pricked my finger with a rusty pin , when I looked at my hand I was not able to find any wound or blood. Should I again take tetanus injection?

Hi, if your last dose of vaccine was 5 months ago you may not take it again, clean the area with spirit n saline.if you feel there is scratch and haven't taken tetanus toxoid for more than 6 months you can take it .
