when to get tetanus shot
Do I need a tetanus jab (vaccine) after an accident or injury? You may need a tetanus jab if the injury has broken your skin and your tetanus vaccinations aren't up-to-date. Tetanus is a serious but rare condition that can be fatal if untreated. The bacteria that can cause tetanus can enter your body through a wound or cut in your skin. They are often found in soil and manure.
