Golden Triangle Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Triangle Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 So did I, but I seem to recall reading somewhere that after 5 jabs no more are required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiujunn Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 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?

Sheryl Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
