Patient's question:
It is said that Traditional Chinese Medicine can regulate the condition from the root to achieve a complete recovery. Please ask, how long does the tetanus shot last?Doctor's answer:
When a person is injured, it is generally necessary to receive a tetanus antitoxin vaccine within 24 hours at a hospital or disease control department. The duration of effectiveness of tetanus antitoxin in the human body is approximately 10 days. Because after an injury, if the wound is deep, it can easily lead to the re-emergence of tetanus bacteria and cause illness. The incubation period of tetanus bacteria is about 7 to 14 days. Therefore, after an injury, it is essential to promptly receive the tetanus antitoxin vaccine to prevent the recurrence of tetanus.
