The TT, or tetanus, vaccine, is usually administered as part of the DPT/DT/TT (Dipetheria, Tetanus & Pertussis, and Tetanus) shot, and is intramuscular.
CPT: 90703 (Vaccines, Toxoids, Tetanus); 90471 (Immunization Administration, One Vaccine/Toxoid)
There is no mention of the animal that requires these injections which makes it difficult to determine dosage. The use of antitoxin or toxoid is not always indicated, especially if the patient is current on the tetanus vaccine.
no.. when you get a vaccine it gives you a little bit of the bacteria from the disease so your body builds an immunity to it. So no, the tetanus vaccine DOES NOT kill tetanus organisms, but deposits tetanus into your body! sounds crazy right?
In my area, tetanus vaccine is given at any time of day.
