It doesn't hurt much at the time but it can leave the muscle very sore for a few days after, so it is better to take it in the buttock because it is easier to cope with a sore bottom than a sore arm.

Does the school provide a tetanus booster for children?

No. Parents/guardians must take the child to a doctor for immunizations and boosters.


What if your child is five she has a cut she had a tetanus at three months old is she still covered?

She should get another tetanus booster just to be safe. Tetanus shots are usually good for about five years, so she might be due for her booster if she's reaching five years and three months. It also wouldn't hurt her to get a booster shot early. I've sometimes gotten a new tetanus shot after only three years depending on my health insurance situation. If cost is a concern, you should ask a doctor or nurse if she can wait a little longer. Tetanus is fatal and horribly painful, so it's not something you want to take unnecessary chances with.

What do you take after injury to prevent tetanus?

After an injury, especially if there’s a risk of tetanus, it's important to ensure that your tetanus vaccinations are up to date. The CDC recommends getting a tetanus booster shot every 10 years, or every 5 years for more severe wounds. If you're unsure of your vaccination status or if the injury is particularly deep or contaminated, consult a healthcare professional for guidance. Additionally, proper wound cleaning and care are essential to prevent infection.
