Tetanus Injection Required or not

2021-10-21 18:57:21
I got a tetanus injection in 2019 April during pregnancy. I got cut today with iron knife. Do I need tetanus injection? Some article says tetanus booster are required every ten years. So not sure. Also I am on some antibiotic. Is it safe to take injection ?

The last one should cover up. Mostly not required, unless the wound is large or dirty

Hello! I understand your confusion as there is a lot of different information on the internet. As per best scientific evidence, your booster dose will give suffiencrt protection. But if the wound is large or has dirt/soil in it you can have another tetanus vaccine. It is safe enough. Hope this helps!
