When to get the tetanus vaccine?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know what's going on, I've been having high fever that won't go down. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was a viral infection. What kind of infectious disease did I get? When should I get the tetanus vaccine?

Doctor's answer:

After you get injured, you use iodine to sterilize it, and this solution is correct. However, if the nails on the machine are rusty and very dirty, there is a possibility of tetanus infection. The bacteria can easily enter your wound through the nails, leading to the onset of the disease. Therefore, if your wound is deep, it is still recommended to go to the hospital to get a tetanus shot. Actively participate in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health.
