Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I received a tetnus shot in june 2009, I was told the shot will give protection for about ten years, or until 2019 or so. Today I accidentally stabbed myself with a staple, It was six years from the last tetnus shot.
Should i get a booster shot or am I still protected?
