Tetanus Immunoglobulin
I had a big cut on Feb 25 so doctor gave Tetanus Immunoglobulin.
I had another cut by metal on Apr 16 so doctor gave Tetanus Immunoglobulin SAYING that the previous one is valid upto 1 month only.
On May 25, Again I had a small cut.
1) Is it safe to take Tetanus Immunoglobulin again? (3 times in 4 Months)
2)Are there any permanent solution which will protect from any cut atleast for 5 years?
NOTE: I have completed the course when I was child. But don't remember the series.

For getting a permanent solution to taking repeated doses of Tetanus immunoglobulins you should take a full course of active immunization against Tetanus. That is possible by taking three doses of Tetanus Toxoid over a period of six months. For details please consult me on Practo.

It is unfortunate that you have to take twice at short gap
You should have been given tetnus toxoid injection also in full 3 , doses at gap of 6 wks and 6 months, this give full immunity till 10 yrs
