A person has received complete immunization against tetanus 10 years ago, now he presents with a clean wound without any lacerations from an injury sustained 3 hours ago. What should he now be given?
Correct Answer: Human tetanus globulin and single dose of toxoid
Description: As the person has recieved last booster dose 10 years ago, he needs to be given both human immunoglobulins and tetanus toxoids. Also know: If the last booster was received within last 5 years there is no need to give TT dose.
