Patient's question:
The child just born doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Please ask about the dosage of the tetanus shot for newborns.Doctor's answer:
The dosage for adults and newborns is between 1500 to 3000 units, but it can be increased if the injury is severe. The specific dosage should be determined by the hospital. Generally, it is not recommended to receive the tetanus vaccine again within three years after vaccination. For tetanus treatment, a skin test is required. Whether it is for tetanus or any other injection, medication should always be taken under the guidance of a doctor, and the correct medical institution should be chosen to administer the treatment.
