Response:
The duration of tetanus toxoid (TT) booster protection depends on your vaccination history. If you have received a full primary series (3 doses) and booster doses every 10 years, then you are well-protected. Generally:
A booster dose provides protection for at least 5-10 years, not just one month as the pharmacist mentioned.
If you had a TT shot one month ago, you do not need another one for this minor cut.
Repeated shots do not reduce immunity but are unnecessary if you are already protected.
Since you are prone to frequent cuts, I recommend discussing a proper immunization schedule with a doctor. You can reach out to me on WhatsApp at eight zero zero nine eight two one three three two for further guidance.
