Tetanus injection requirement

2022-08-28 13:15:12
My 3.5 month old son just had his vaccination (the 3.5 month course vaccination) this Friday. Today while cutting his nail, his skin got cut and fresh blood came out. We use his personal baby nail cutter. Do we need to give him tetanus injection?

No requirement of tetanus injection Don't cut the nails of the baby. Baby nails are like elastic when you try to cut it with a nail cutter it may break from inbetween so always file the nails (ie to smoothen the curve of the nail by the rough end of strip of the nail cutter) to avoid the injuries.
