If your brother received a tetanus toxoid (TT) injection in July 2023, it's important to assess whether he is up-to-date on his tetanus vaccination status and whether he needs a booster shot after his recent injury.Given that your brother sustained a metal scrape from a table, it's important to consider the risk of tetanus infection. Tetanus bacteria can enter the body through puncture wounds, cuts, or abrasions, particularly if the wound is contaminated with soil, dust, or rust.
