Alright, so yesterday around 1:30 PM, I got the Covid-19 vaccine. Then, a few hours later, I fell off my bike and got some scrapes and bumps on my leg and hand. I went to the closest clinic to get my wounds looked at, and the doctor there told me I should get a tetanus shot within 24 hours. Im wondering, is it really necessary to get it in that exact time frame, or is there some flexibility? Can I get the tetanus shot within 48 hours instead? What should I do?

Tetanus Shot Timing
- It is generally recommended to get a tetanus shot as soon as possible after an injury, ideally within 24 hours. However, receiving it within 48 hours is still effective.
-
Factors to Consider
a. Vaccination History: If your last tetanus booster was more than 5 years ago, getting a shot promptly is advisable.
b. Wound Cleanliness: Clean wounds may allow for some flexibility, but contaminated wounds increase urgency. -
Recommendation
- While sooner is better, a tetanus shot within 48 hours is generally acceptable. Consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

View allI've recently gotten a cut from a blade about 36 hours ago, and I haven't had a tetanus shot in the last 3 years. Should I get a tetanus injection now? I'm a bit concerned and not sure what to do.
It is recommended to get a tetanus injection if you have not had one in the last 3 years. You should get a tetanus toxoid vaccine such as Boostrix or Adacel. The standard dosage for adults is 0.5 mL given intramuscularly.

I recently drank 2 caps of Lizol, and now I'm feeling a burning sensation in my mouth. What could happen to me? Are there any side effects I should be worried about?
Drinking Lizol (a disinfectant) is dangerous and can cause severe burns to your mouth, throat, and stomach, along with potential organ damage. Please **seek immediate medical attention** to prevent complications, as it is a medical emergency. Avoid inducing vomiting unless directed by a doctor.

So, if a pet dog bit someone and the dog was given a Nobivac Rabies vaccination just five months ago, is getting a TT injection going to be enough for the bite? Should there be any additional precautions or steps we should take? Also, is there anything specific we should keep an eye on after the bite?
In addition to the TT (Tetanus Toxoid) injection, it is recommended to also administer the rabies vaccine after a dog bite, especially if the dog's rabies vaccination status is not known or if it has been more than 5 months since the dog was vaccinated with Nobivac Rabies. The rabies vaccine helps prevent the development of rabies infection. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
