View allGot a tetanus shot about 9 months ago because of an injury, but I got hurt again today. Do I have to get another tetanus injection, or am I still covered from the last one?
No, after the initial tetanus vaccination series, a booster shot is only required once every 5-10 years.

I accidentally stepped on an iron rod and it pierced my foot. The injury doesn't seem very deep, but I'm worried if I should be thinking about getting a tetanus shot. How soon should I get it if needed?
Considering your perianal abscess has partially drained, it's essential to continue using Shield ointment as directed by your doctor. This ointment helps relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing . Shield ointment contains a combination of ingredients, including Allantoin, Hydrocortisone, Lidocaine, and Zinc oxide. These ingredients work together to provide relief from pain, itching, and discomfort associated with perianal abscesses . Regarding side effects, Shield ointment is generally well-tolerated. However, some users may experience mild side effects, such as: - *Burning sensation* - *Irritation* - *Itching* - *Redness* Prolonged usage of Shield ointment may lead to skin thinning or adrenal suppression due to the presence of Hydrocortisone . However, this is rare and typically occurs with extended use beyond the recommended duration. To minimize potential side effects, ensure you: - Use Shield ointment as directed by your doctor - Apply a thin layer to the affected area - Avoid using the ointment on open wounds or broken skin - Wash your hands thoroughly before and after application
