Patient's question:
The body often feels uncomfortable, what's going on? How is the tetanus shot for newborns given?Doctor's answer:
Hello, newborns are generally not anesthetized for tetanus immune globulin. Usually, children born after delivery are vaccinated with DTP at 3 months, which includes a vaccine for active immunity against tetanus. In such cases, there is no need to worry about the child getting tetanus. At the same time, during daily care, it is important to observe the child more carefully and avoid situations where they might be injured by sharp objects like wire.
