Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr XXXXXXX

Welcome to Ask a Doctor Service.

If you have taken a TT injection in the last 6 months, there is absolutely no need to take it again.

We usually advice TT only if you have not taken in more than 3 years, within that time it is not advisable.

Hope this answers your query.
