Duration of immunity by Tetanus vaccine
A very pleasant morning to you dear Doctors,
Today while shaving, I guessed I pressed too hard on my chin so got many nicks and cuts on my chin and neck area. It was a fresh Gillette Presto blade and I applied lots of aftershave on the are where blood came from. I had taken an anti tetanus toxoid (the one you get in medical stores in Uttar Pradesh) on 26th of July, 2023.
Do I need another shot? Or is it effective till 5 years since I did receive primary vaccination in childhood and also had taken 3 injections on one month gap (0,1,2) in year 2000 as well. And after that I always take one injection within every 5 years.
