Hello doctor..I had a very minor cut with a rusty metal got two drops of blood from my finger on Jan 1 this year..I had washed it with a soap and applied tincture and then I cleaned it then covered it with a medical hansaplast after two days my cut was healed from past two days I am getting lite fever followed by body pain but no jaw pain..no vomiting/diarrhoea.. I took some antibiotics but I googled it symptoms but Google showing me possible infection of tetanus..I didn't took tetanus shot in my life.. 7days passed after injury & injury healed but I'm not sure about infection do I need to worry please reply me
Nice
Thank you madam☺
Very informative. Thank you ma'am.
I had received tt 3 yr back, 1 year back and last month, now do i have immunity for 5 years. Age 36. Childhood vaccine status not known
Yes you are considered protected for next 5 years... But ideally WHO advices unimmunised adolescents and adults to take 5 doses for long term protection.
0,1mo, 6mo followed by two further TT boosters at 1 year interval for long term protection.
Doctor ...what if the TT booster dose is recieved in the interval of 2-3 years in case of adults who do not know thier vaccine history
Excellent... Please clear my doubt mam.
.suppose a12 years old child who has taken previous 3 doses and now has tetanus prone injury.. Which one will be administerd TT, Td or Tdap... Please clear this TT, Td and Tdap confusion in case of tetanus prone wound..i am still confused.. Thanks
If you are looking at tetanus prophylaxis post injury tt is enough...but Td preferred since he has missed the 10 year td in this scenario.who recommends Td in all scenarios where TT indicated.
Tdap is a personal choice may be given but significant pertussis efficacy lasts for only 3 years post vaccination...
thanks madam, excellent presentation. I have one doubt, if adult patient came with tetanus prone wound & he had taken all previous vaccination as per schedule (3 primary + 1 dose at 1.5/5/10/16 year) but now there is more than 5 year gap since last dose, then still he will need booster dose at present?
If is a minor wound not needed ...but in tetanus prone contaminated wound...booster dose is needed if last dose was taken more than 5yrs ago
Madam, I took 2 TT in last Feb 22 and August 22 due to minor injury... but again in last Dec 22 I had an small road accident by motorcycle.. fell down and got small wound in elbow and knee..again I took one shot.. that means 3 shot in 10 months...local pharmacist told me to complete the course from the date of third I took ( ie. after 4 weeks and the booster after 6 month...madam, Is it necessary ???. ... but after hearing you , it's clear to me regarding TT
Here the third dose is taken after 4 months.... Though third after six months is preferable.... Four month interval is valid... It would be preferable to take a booster 1 year later for long term protection
Madam Thank you
Have seen taking TT injection in gluteal region.
What is your advice?
Better not to give....may not provide desired response if it becomes sub cutaneous
Or is kya is ke side effects hain
Ma'am minimum gap between first and second dose is four week but what is about maximum gap. Does long gap does not interfere with protection.
No long gap does not interfere with protection. In fact longer the gap better is the protection due to affinity and avidity maturation of antibodies. Memory cells once formed is there for a second better immune response.
Mam 👏👏👏.
Thanks arjun... 😊
Very clearly explained👌🏻. But it's very difficult to convince patients who want the vaccine after every injury 😕
😊
Madm... How to prevent tetanus in a newborn delivered by an unimmunised mother(or status not known)?any recommendation for immunoglobulin?
Yes if mother unimmunised...and especially if baby delivered at home...definitely tetanus immunoglobulin is indicated
@@practicalpediatricsbydr.sheeja thanks madam
Dear Mam,
I Debojit Mallick 34+
I have seen your video on youtube. (Immunisation FAQs: Tetanus Toxoid by Dr. Sheeja Sugunan)
it is very informative.
but I want to know about my vaccination status.
I do not know my tetanus vaccination status or guess unimmunized
I have taken 1 TT injection on 18th June 2022 for a small cut on my finger
then took a 2nd TT injection on 22 October 2022 for a small cut on my leg
is it give me any protection for some time?
and when I take my 3rd dose please guide me.
Take third dose in April that is six months after second dose... It will give protection for next 3 to 5 yrs.
@@practicalpediatricsbydr.sheeja thank-you very much mam
Mam Kya hum tetanus toxoid vaccine without injury ke liye bi lgwa skte Hain for protection
Haan..
Agar aapne pichla tt 10 saal pahle liya hai tab.
Doctor I had taken tetanus jab in 2015, 2018 and 2020 .... And more than 5 times times before 2015 is it now required to get a jab now in 2022 when I have an injury?
Your last jab has been in 2020 with more than five previous doses... That means you are protected against tetanus completely for next five years....between five to 10 years also for minor wounds you don't require Td.
In case you have a tetanus prone injury after 5 years you can take a Td
@@practicalpediatricsbydr.sheeja I took it yesterday :(
Ma'am does rabies vaccine provides life time protection

Can watch this for info regarding rabies vaccination dilemmas
Thank you mam.. mam if a child of 3.5 year ( immunised uptodate for age)comes with tetanus prone injury and given TT in the casualty , do we need to giv TT at 5 year of age as DPT booster wil have TT which is given at 5 year of age?what to do in such situations?
As you rightly pointed out the child in fact didn't need TT... But it's already given... Pertussis and diphtheria protection are important at 5 years so we need to give DPT.. WHO says an extra dose TT may be given if physician deems necessary in high risk situations... In this situation also important to educate parent about no need for further extra doses.. In between scheduled doses in future.
Thank you mam,🙏🏻
