Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The proper time to initiate vaccination is during the second trimester.
If proper immunization schedule was followed during pre-pregnancy state and also in childhood, a single dose of tetanus toxoid during the second trimester would suffice. Else, two doses are needed with a gap of one month in the second trimester.
Hope your query has been answered. Please feel free to contact for further clarifications. I will be happy to help.
