Covishield and tetanus shot
I got my first dose of covishield on 27 May 2021.
Today, i got a cut on my finger from some rusted rod. Today is 8 June 2021.
My last tetanus shot was atleast 15 years ago.
It has not been 14days yet. Is it ok to get tetanus shot now? Does it have any impact on covishield vaccine? Will I be have to be re vaccinated?

Get the tetanus shot as soon as possible.
The benefits are much higher than the risks involved.
It will not impact your covid vaccination and you can take your 2nd covid vaccination as per schedule
