Hi, i got a cut from razor and had some bleeding but the cut is not deep. I got Tetanus toxoid vaccine first dose at 17 weeks of pregnancy (i.e. 6 weeks ago). Now I am 23 weeks. Do i need to get another shot now?

I think if you are primi ,you should take 3 doses of tetanus toxoid otherwise 2 doses,and if you have taken 6 weeks ago no need to take a new dose.

In pregnancy you have to take 2 doses, so ask your gynecologist about when should you take the 2nd dose.
