Tetanus Infections
Hi,
I was in Goa Last week. On Friday night, I got a scratch on my calf from a piece of iron while getting down from the Gyp. Although there was not much bleeding and scar was also not deep. There was a slight bleeding and I washed and now it's dried up completely with a brown colour layer. I was vaccinated for Tetanus in the last six month during the similar kind of a small injury. I did not take the vaccine this time. Is there any reason to worry or need to go to the doctor for any treatment or vaccination. Pl guide.

HELLO,
AS SUCH NO.
BUT ONE ADVISE,
IF YOU TAKE NOW, THAN ONE AFTER TWO MONTH, N ON SIXTH MONTHS A COMPLETE COURSE OF T.T HAS BEEN DONE. SO NOTHING TO WORRY FURTHER.
I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND.
O.K BYE.
