Hi. I'm 7th month pregnant. And I had been given two tt injections. 1st in 3rd month and the second in 7th month. Is a gap of 4 months fine for immunity? And will it protect the mother and baby from tetanus?

Yes , two injection of tetanus should be taken 30 to 45 days (1 to 1½ months) apart. But if you have fear that that will not protect mother and baby then take one injection of tetanus in last month of pregnancy
