Did I complete Tetanus Vaccine course
Hi Doctor,
Apologies for ruining your sunday.
Please help I am having anxiety since early morning.
I was born on 1st August,1994. I have attached the dates of DPT, DT and TT shots I had taken in childhood. I didn't take the fourth booster. But within a year or two of the third booster in 2004 I had taken an adhoc TT shot due to injury. And since then I have been taking adhoc TT shots after injury.
The last adhoc shot I took was almost a year back. Please tell me how long I will have immunity from Tetanus. Because I get anxiety after every minor cut and think of taking a shot.
