⢠If last tt vaccine was more than 5 years ago and the wound is dirty/rusty â get a TT vaccine now
⢠If youâre unsure or unvaccinated â you need both TT/Tdap vaccine and possibly tetanus immunoglobulin (TIG).-
Next Steps
Wash your wound thoroughly- consult nearest hospital- you can get free vaccine from government hospitals
