Hi Doctor, my 3.6-year-old daughter has scratch marks on her leg, but I'm unsure where she got hurt. She received a tetanus vaccine when she was 16-18 months old. Should we bring her in for another tetanus vaccine, or is it unnecessary?"

A. it is not required but still it is better to discuss with your doctor and if the doctor says to give the vaccination you can give accordingly as per his guidance
