16-17 minutes out of the fridge with brief handling won’t affect the tetanus vaccine’s effectiveness it still provides full protection.

Yes, the tetanus vaccine will still work. Being out of the fridge for 15–17 minutes, even in warm weather, does not usually affect its effectiveness. It should still provide proper protection.
