Question: Hello doctor,

My son is 2 years old now. We have observed a wound on his leg%E2%80%99s thumb finger in the side. We do not know how he got hurt. He is having his regular dose of vaccination. Do we have to get him tetanus for wound? Do you recommend anything as such doctor?

Thanks,

If your child is having regular vaccination, then he doesnt need a tetanus shot.
