if your child has completed the regular vaccination there is no need to go for tetanus vaccinationh at this age because it is already covered in the national immunisation schedule.
if the injury or cut is very dirty enough then the final decision of tetanus vaccine will be taken by the doctor.

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. If your baby stepped on a safety pin and the area is red and swollen, it's essential to clean the wound thoroughly with mild soap and water. Apply an antiseptic cream and cover it with a clean bandage. Keep an eye on the wound for any signs of infection such as increasing redness, swelling, warmth, or drainage of pus.
Regarding tetanus vaccination, it depends on your baby's vaccination history. Typically, children receive a series of tetanus vaccinations as part of their routine childhood immunizations. If your baby's tetanus vaccination schedule is up to date, there might not be a need for an additional TT injection. However, if there's uncertainty about their vaccination status or if it's been more than five years since their last tetanus shot, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional. They can assess the wound and determine if a tetanus booster is necessary.
