Hi dear ,
I can completely understand your concern regarding your health issues .The need for active immunization (tetanus toxoid), with or without passive immunization (tetanus immune globulin [TIG]), depends on the condition of the wound and the patient’s
immunization history .In my opinion ,if you have 3 or more tetanus doses in past and wound is clean n minor ,as in your case it is .i don't think you need TT or TIG .please rate my answer if you found it helpful .
regards
Dr.harpreet Kaur
