Tetanus Toxoid is recommended for everyone, starting from 2 months of age, with booster doses suggested approximately every 10 years. Consult your doctor for any concerns regarding vaccination.
A booster dose, or booster vaccine, is an additional vaccine administered periodically, usually every few years, after the initial vaccination. It enhances immunity against specific diseases.
Tetanus Toxoid provides artificial active immunity, which is generated when a dead or weakened form of the disease stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. This vaccination helps prevent tetanus.
If you miss a scheduled booster dose of Tetanus Toxoid, consult your doctor to arrange for a rescheduled vaccination as soon as possible.
The incubation period for tetanus ranges from 3 to 21 days, averaging 8 days. A greater distance from the injury site to the central nervous system typically results in a longer incubation period.
