Tetanus regarding issue

2018-03-07 15:00:30
I took a tetanus booster injection yesterday. What i saw was that the doctor accidently touched the tip of the needle of the injection filled with tetanus booster to a wall and then injected it to me without replacing the needle. Their is no pain at the sight of injection and just a mild pain in muscles on rotating mine hand . Can i have any issues in future. And will the tetanua booster still work for 6 months?.and should i take one more ?

Pain after tetanus injection is quite common So don't worry about it Touching needle tip cannot reduce TT efficacy So no need to repeat the dose

Tetanus injection is usually painful. Independent of him touching Th wall(the pain that u experience while moving or rotating your hand). Don’t worry about the potency of injection
