Tetanus schedule effectiveness
I will put my question simply. I had read in the literature of serum institute about tetanus schedule and had asked my cousin studying MBBS, and had got 3 series of TT injections each one month apart in year 2000 (0,1,2). But now in national guidelines I see it as 0,1,6-12 for adults. As I remember I had also been given primary series in childhood too.
After 2000, I have taken atleast one TT booster or more within each 5 year span and most recent I took on 26/06/23. Am I protected from a cut I got day before yesterday or do I need to take a TT booster asap?

Based on the information you’ve provided, it seems you are well protected. Since you have received multiple tetanus boosters over the years, including one as recent as 26/06/23, the chances of needing an additional booster immediately after your recent cut are quite low. According to guidelines, tetanus boosters are recommended every 10 years for routine protection. Since your last booster was just a few months ago, your immunity should still be active.
However, if the wound is severe or contaminated, you might still want to consult a doctor to ensure there’s no additional risk. For better evaluation and treatment, I would recommend that you consult me directly or message me on **eight zero zero nine eight two one three three two** for further guidance.
