POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. Tetanus injection, specifically the Tetanus Toxoid (TT) vaccine, is typically administered during pregnancy to protect both the mother and baby from tetanus, particularly during childbirth. The timing is as follows:
1. First pregnancy:
The first dose of the tetanus vaccine is usually given between 16 to 24 weeks of pregnancy.
A second dose is administered at least 4 weeks after the first dose, but ideally before 36 weeks.
2. Subsequent pregnancies:
If you received the full dose during a previous pregnancy within the last 3 years, you might only need one booster dose during this pregnancy.
Always consult your healthcare provider to ensure proper timing and dosage based on your vaccination history.
