Brief Answer:
Vaccination advice

Detailed Answer:
Hi.. I have just now seen your kid's photo. This is a very trivial injury and i assure you not to worry at all. I congratulate you about the first aid performed for your kid. The decision on whether to give vaccination or not depends on the previous vaccination status of the kid. I suggest you get back to me the following details -
1. Has your kid vaccinated at 1.5 months/ 2.5months/3.5 months age with DPT and then followed up the same at 1/5 years or not?
2. Apart form the above has he received any other TT vaccine in the past and if so at what age?
Please get back to me as soon as possible and I would give my final professional opinion.
Hope my answer was helpful for you.
