Tetanus vaccine is a vaccine used to prevent tetanus. It contains killed tetanus bacteria and helps the body build immunity to tetanus. Getting the tetanus vaccine is an effective way to prevent tetanus infection, especially after an injury or being punctured by a contaminated object.
In Hong Kong, tetanus vaccine is usually provided as part of the childhood vaccination program and is recommended for adults every ten years. Mild side effects may occur after vaccination, such as redness, swelling or pain at the injection site, but these are usually temporary. Pregnant women or people with a history of severe allergies should consult a doctor before vaccination.
Tetanus vaccine is safe and effective and helps protect you from the serious consequences of a tetanus infection. Please follow the advice of your doctor or medical professional to ensure the health of you and your family.
How to use: Infuse into muscle tissue, usually in the upper arm or thigh. Vaccination can be done at any time, no specific time is required, but it is best to get vaccinated immediately after scheduling the vaccination. It does not need to be taken with food, but avoid consuming large amounts of alcohol on the day of vaccination. Avoid excessive exercise after vaccination to avoid pain at the vaccination site.
Dosage guidelines: Adults and adolescents usually receive 0.5 ml, and children receive 0.25 ml, depending on their age. After the initial vaccination, it is recommended to get the second dose 4 to 8 weeks later, and the third dose 6 to 12 months later. Adults get a booster shot every 10 years. For those who have completed basic vaccinations, a booster shot is given every 10 years. If you have special circumstances, you should consult your doctor for the best advice.
The Tetanus (adsorbed) vaccine is generally safe and effective, but sometimes mild side effects may occur, including redness, swelling, pain, or a hard lump at the injection site. Rare side effects include fever, headache, muscle pain, fatigue, and general feeling of malaise. Serious allergic reactions, although extremely rare, can occur. If you have difficulty breathing, throat swelling, or other serious symptoms, seek medical attention immediately. If you have any unusual symptoms, report them to your doctor immediately. Remember to tell your doctor about any past allergies or other health problems.
