Tetanus jab

Featured Replies

Could someone please confirm or deny my thinking that after 5 Tetanus jabs no more are required.  TIA

 

Just wondering if I need a booster.

So did I,  but I seem to recall reading  somewhere that after 5 jabs no more are required.

There is no fixed number,  like "5 times". Having said this,  many Westerners are over-immunized.

 

Depends on:

How far apart were those 5 immunizations?  

Any side effects the last time you got vaccinated? 

How is your risk?  Are you a Western paper pusher or a Thai rice farmer? 

 

It is actually not clear how long the duration of protection is (and it may  also vary in individuals). It probably is longer than 10 years but it is nto infinite and I certainly would nto count on 5 doses received in youth to still be protective in old age.
