Dosage of TT VACCINE AND VALIDITY
I got a tetanus vaccine in the last week of October 2022 and then again a TT in the first week of December 2022 and again third dose in the month of March 2023. Am I protected for 5 years? 36 hours ago, I got a small injury from a cafe's washroom door latch, and one or two drops of blood came out.Should I need to take TT again now?

Once a full course of TT has been given,a booster is not usually needed before 5 years unless you have a major issue.For minor cuts you need to clean the wound thoroughly.If there is any doubt meet your doctor who will guide you accordingly

You have completed the tetanus injection series, which gives you protection.Get a booster dose 10 years after the last vaccine.

You mentioned getting three TT shots between October 2022 and March 2023, and recently had a minor injury with a drop or two of bleeding.
Since you've completed a proper TT schedule within the last 1.5 years, you're generally protected for up to 5 years for such small injuries—so another TT is not usually needed in this case.
