Tetanus query
I got an abrasion from a trimmer that I used to shave, no blood came out. Most recent I had taken Tetanus Toxoid from medical store and got it administered on 26/06/2023. Do I need to take a TT booster again or am I protected?
*Had taken a TT booster on 19/02/24, but the person. from medical store administered it like 4-5 inches down from shoulder joint and at the back muscles of arm, so I am not sure if it was deltoid.

It's good that you are mindful of your tetanus vaccinations. Since you took a Tetanus Toxoid (TT) booster recently on 26/06/2023, you're likely protected. Tetanus vaccines usually provide immunity for several years, and boosters are recommended every 5-10 years, especially after a potential exposure.
Regarding the abrasion from the trimmer, if there was no blood, the risk of tetanus is minimal. However, if you're still concerned or notice signs of infection (e.g., redness, swelling), it would be best to consult for a closer evaluation.
