Yes. It is 4 times more than required. I don't know whether you are a patient or a Multinational Laboratory Executive. Cost of Tetanus Antibodies titre Test  in USA is between ₹ 4000 -  ₹ 8000 (USD 40-USD 80). And cost of Inj Tetvac is ₹30 (₹100, including cost of giving injection). In case you get injured , what will you prefer ? Taking Tetvac shot straight away or getting tested and taking the shot after  5 days.
