Do i need Tetanus injection Or not???
I got an injury by my steel bed today and experienced bleeding. Very frequently I get this types of cuts as i'm always in a 'hurry type' person .. Then I washed the cut, applied dettol liquid on it. I took my last tt shots in 2019 and 2020 as well for cat scratches and today it's 2022 . Do i need to take tetanus injection again? How long a single TT shot valid? I don't know about my primary immunization status.
