Most small, mild blisters settle on their own with cool compresses and soothing creams (like calamine or aloe).

This doesn't seem to be a reaction due to Tetvac. It could be due to the chemical that was used to clean the skin. You should use antibiotic ointment like Soframycin or Betadine.

Appears to be a local allergic reaction to the tetanus vaccination.As you don't have any signs of infection,do take care of the blisters without puncturing it.

It's either allergic > infective probability. But since you have no fever and it's not painful , just observe ,if it spreads consult immediately. Meanwhile take c. Amoxyclav 375 BD x3d and cetrizine ODx3d , apply oint neomycin at site. Do not punture blister for now.

This looks like a local allergic reaction to the tetanus injection. Do not puncture or break the blister. Keep the area clean and dry. If the blister increases in size, becomes painful, red, or spreads, you should consult a doctor immediately for proper evaluation and treatment.

Hello Ma’am,
If the blister becomes larger, very painful, starts spreading, or shows pus with high fever or severe swelling, then you should see a doctor immediately as it may indicate infection or a stronger reaction. Otherwise, with simple care it usually heals on its own.
If more questions are in your mind, you can contact me on WhatsApp at nine one one nine two five five six nine nine for free consultation.

This reaction appears limited to the injection site and does not show signs of widespread infection or allergy, so it is generally considered a mild, self-limiting event. Blistering at the vaccine site may develop due to immune or local inflammatory responses, but it is rarely dangerous if limited to the area and unaccompanied by fever or other symptoms
Next Steps
Keep the affected area clean and dry.
Avoid scratching, squeezing, or applying ointments to the blisters.
Apply a cool compress for comfort and mild swelling.
If itchy, an over-the-counter 1% hydrocortisone cream can be applied twice daily if needed.
Avoid covering with tight bandages; use gauze if needed for weeping blisters.
Most reactions resolve in a few days to a week.
Seek medical attention if there are signs of infection (such as increasing redness, warmth, pus, foul odor), persistent or worsening pain, high fever, or if blisters spread beyond the injection area
Health Tips
Do not use antibiotics for large local reactions unless there are clear signs of infection, as bacterial cellulitis is rare in post-vaccine site reactions.
If there is any history of severe vaccine allergy or other systemic symptoms (breathing difficulty, facial swelling, generalized rash), consult a doctor immediately.
If blisters do not resolve or new symptoms develop, follow up with a healthcare provider for evaluation of other rare causes like bullous skin disorders
