Tetnus vaccine misconception among docs
Sir today I realized after little research on INTERNET that tetnus vaccine (tetanus toxoid)which we get after getting wound is actually useless and will protect in next wound not current one. For current one tetanus immunoglobulin vaccine is required THEN WHY DOCS ALWAYS administer simple Tetanus toxoid vaccine? This is very common mistake in government hospitals , giving false sense of satisfaction among patients.
