I accidentally inhaled some diluted Dettol fumes while spraying, and I could actually feel it running down my throat. Is this something serious? What should I be worried about or do next?

I'm a bit confused about tetanus shots. If I get one today and then have an injury in the next few days, do I need another injection right away, or am I covered for a bit? Can you help clarify this?

If you have received a tetanus shot today and then sustain an injury, you typically do not need another tetanus shot unless it has been more than 5 years since your last tetanus vaccination. In that case, you may need a tetanus booster shot within 48 hours of the injury. The recommended vaccine for tetanus booster is Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis) and the usual adult dosage is 0.5 mL given intramuscularly.
