Tetanus toxoid validity

2023-10-16 11:30:53
I have had tetanus toxoid 2 times in 2021. At 6 days and 6 week mark. I missed the 6 month dose. Yesterday my finger got a slight cut from a rusted metal which I washed with Dettol and applied a bandaid to. Is it true that tetanus toxoid protects for 5 years ?

It is true that Inj Tetanus gives protection for 5 years if you take all the three doses appropriately spaced.
