Yes, you can receive another tetanus shot if you had one three years ago, especially if you have a wound that is at risk for tetanus. The standard recommendation is to get a tetanus booster every 10 years, but for certain injuries, a booster may be given sooner. It's best to consult a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate course of action based on your specific situation.
Nope... 10 years
I stepped upon a rusty nail once. My doctor indicated that a tetanus booster is recommended if your most recent tetanus vaccination was more than 10 years ago.
Tetanus is caused by a bacteria in the soil. Tetanus shots are thought to be good for at least 10 years. Although rabies are very rare in ferrets, if you were bitten, make sure it had it's rabies vaccinations.
I was bitten by a mole a couple of days ago and went to see my doctor today. She recommended a tetanus shot, so I had one.
Signs that you may need a tetanus shot include a deep or dirty wound, especially if it was caused by a puncture or animal bite. If your last tetanus booster was more than 10 years ago for a standard injury, or more than 5 years ago for a high-risk injury, you should consider getting a booster. Symptoms like muscle stiffness or spasms, particularly in the jaw, can indicate tetanus infection, necessitating immediate medical attention. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
As soon as possible. You really don't want to wait because the area that was punctured can get infected and the blood stream has been exposed as well. Go to the ER or get a doctor appointment IMMEDIATELY and get it taken care of, for your own health
generally a tetanus shot within 8-10 years should be sufficient. depending on how badly you cut your hand, you may want to seek treatment so that the cut can be irrigated and you can be given an antibiotic ointment to prevent other infections.
i got this shot a couple months ago and i dont remember it hurting.. maybe the needle thickness had something to do with it, you might be allergic to something in it, etc...
one shot is written 1 or 2 years ago
Ronald Reagan was shot and seriously wounded in 1981.
75-100 years ago
You mean the durration of his death. Well, i don't know how long he suffered after being shot. If not do you mean how long ago he died. He was shot by a Mr. Booth in 1968, whitch was 42 years ago.
