Talk to Pediatrician on Is Tetanus Injection Required For 6 Years Old Kid?
Asking For Other, Female 6, Lahore
2 days ago, my daughter (6 years old) fell down at the street outside my house and got a minor injury, which is almost healed as of now. One of the doctors said we must go for Tetnus injection. Another doctor said it is not required for kids under 10 years, given that all the vaccination coursw on birth was done on time. Tetanus injections are also short these days. I need guidance to confirm me, whether the Tatenus injections are really needed for my kid or not?

you have passed 24 hours after injury.but ideally you should go for injection as vaccination cover up to 5 years of age
if vaccinated qnd minor injury than no need
get a physical checkup to see the wound along with your vaccination card..
