I got a TT vaccine around 4 months ago, but the nurse gave it on my buttocks. Today, I got a small scratch from an iron wire while playing cricket. I'm worried if the vaccine still provides immunity since it was administered on the buttocks. Should I get another TT shot for this incident? Would love a detailed explanation.

Since you received the TT vaccine four months ago, it should provide immunity against tetanus for at least 3-5 years, even if it was given in the buttocks. A small scratch from an iron wire doesn't typically require a booster, but if you notice any signs of infection or develop symptoms like muscle stiffness or difficulty swallowing, seek medical attention immediately.

I'm in the process of applying for a visa and found out I need a medical certificate. They mentioned I have to be certified by a doctor to show I'm not suffering from any illness that could affect public health under the International Sanitary Act 2005. I'm really nervous about it and not sure what kind of diseases they're checking for. Can you help me understand what this is all about and what I should expect when getting this certificate?
visit a qualified healthcare provider, undergo the required tests, and ensure that the medical certificate reflects that you do not have any communicable diseases in accordance with the International Health Regulations (2005).
