Validity of Tetanus Toxoid injection.
While administering tetanus toxoid vaccine(bett) to a person, I accidentally cut myself from the Tetanus Toxoid glass ampoule in my fingers. Cleaned the wound in running water & applied betadine solution to it.
My previous Tetanus Toxoid vaccination history -
04/08/2019
01/08/2020
23/06/2022
21/11/2022
25/10/2023
I have been cut 2-3 instances in last 1 year but due to past immunization I have not taken any booster.
But do I need to take another shot of T.T this time?? Kindly tell me.
Thank you.

Hello
Don't worry
Cut by Glass ampoules don't need TT injection.
Had it been rusted metal then it would have been needed.

As For this particular wound,you don't need any tetanus injection at this time.
For adults, a tetanus booster is generally recommended every 10 years. However, if you experience a wound that's at high risk of infection, a booster might be needed sooner if your last dose was over five years ago.

If a person has received a TT booster within the past 5–10 years, another booster is not usually required for minor clean wounds.
• Since the last TT shot was in October 2023 (about 7 months ago), no additional TT booster is needed now, assuming the wound is:
• Clean and minor
• Not contaminated with soil, rust, or feces
Next Steps
• Keep the wound clean and watch for signs of infection (redness, swelling, pus, pain).
• No need for a TT booster at this time unless the wound becomes infected or there’s a risk of contamination (consult a doctor if that occurs).
Health Tips
No need for a TT booster at this time !
