Tetanus Vaccine

2021-09-23 17:24:43
Hello Doctor, I got a minor scrape cut in my ankle after being hit (not sure if it was rusted surface or not, as it was night). Last month, first week of August I took TT injection. Is it required again? I cleaned the wound with dettol liquid and applied providone iodine solution antiseptic cream.
