Tetanus toxoid

2020-09-14 16:50:03
My primary DPT immunization was complete (3 doses, each 4 weeks apart) and my 1st booster dose was 20 months apart from the last dose of primary immunization but I missed the second booster dose at 5 years. Today I got a minor cut and my last TT injection was 12 months back. Do I need to take a TT injection again?

It is better to have TT injection if the gap is more than 6 months.
