Is TT injection necessary
I got a small scratch and blood came out with iron wiper lightly rusted at public washroom. I received a TT injection with 3-4 years back due to some other injury. Is it necessary to get it again?

There is a laid down schedule of three doses of Tetvac taken at specified interval. Then the immunity lasts for 5 years and one should take booster dose every five years.
Other than that every one should take Tetvac at the time of injury.
