How Long Is the TT Injection Valid, and When Should You Get a Booster? - #15465
I recently got a TT injection (Tetanus Toxoid vaccine) after a minor injury, and I wanted to understand more about how long its protection lasts. From what I understand, the TT injection helps protect against tetanus, a serious bacterial infection that affects the nervous system, but how long is the validity of a TT shot? I read that a single TT injection provides protection for about 5 to 10 years, but how do you know when you need a booster dose? Is it necessary to get one after every injury, or only in certain cases? One thing that concerns me is whether a delayed or missed booster dose increases the risk of tetanus infection. What are the symptoms of tetanus, and how quickly does the bacteria affect the body? Are there any Ayurvedic or natural immune-boosting remedies that help support wound healing and infection prevention? I’ve heard that Turmeric, Aloe Vera, and Neem have antibacterial properties—do these actually help in reducing the risk of tetanus? If anyone has had to take a TT injection, what was the reason, and did you experience any side effects? Did your doctor recommend a booster dose for extra protection?
