B12 & D Vitamin deficiency
Being a vegetarian with lactose intolerance, I constantly find myself in B12 deficiency. Each time I get my levels checked up, I am either deficient or at the border. It's been the pattern for a long while.
Also, due to the indoor lifestyle that comes with my profession, I have Vitamin D deficiency too. I have attached the image of my current levels for reference. (B12-134pg/ml & D-21.8ng/ml)
To improve the levels, I brought Becadexamin capsules as it contains both the vitamins. However, my doubt is if it's good in the long term or not, because incorporating non-vegetarian food is not a choice.
If there is a safer alternative, please let me know.
Thank you.

Tetanus concern
I don't know why there is so much confusion in advices. In most literatures and sites like WHO, CDC and national guidelines it's clearly mentioned that if a person has received primary TT series in childhood or as adult with no prior record has taken atleast 3 series of TT vaccination. Then he/she is protected as long as one takes boosters every 10 years.
TT booster then is not indicated for a clean cut if booster taken within 10 years and if there is tetanus prone injury or soiled cut/wound, bite etc TT booster is to be taken if not received a booster within 5 years. Then why do we still get advises to take TT every 6 months or whenever one gets any cut? In last 5 years I have taken a TT booster in 21,22,23. So 3 boosters already, last one on 26 June, 2023.

Tetanus schedule effectiveness
I will put my question simply. I had read in the literature of serum institute about tetanus schedule and had asked my cousin studying MBBS, and had got 3 series of TT injections each one month apart in year 2000 (0,1,2). But now in national guidelines I see it as 0,1,6-12 for adults. As I remember I had also been given primary series in childhood too.
After 2000, I have taken atleast one TT booster or more within each 5 year span and most recent I took on 26/06/23. Am I protected from a cut I got day before yesterday or do I need to take a TT booster asap?
