Tetanus shot over 48 hours, seeking treatment?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I've been having high fever that won't go down. The hospital said it's a viral infection. What kind of infectious disease did I get? Please ask if the tetanus shot is more than 48 hours old, seeking treatment?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after being injured, it is necessary to receive tetanus vaccination early. In most cases, tetanus antitoxin can be administered within 48 hours. If there is an allergic reaction to tetanus antitoxin, grape seed immunoglobulin can be used to vaccinate. The earlier the tetanus shot is given, the better, and it is not ineffective after 24 hours or 48 hours.
