The best time to get tetanus for trauma

Tetanus toxoid injection is usually within 24 hours after trauma. The purpose of tetanus toxoid injection is to stimulate the body's active immunity with tetanus toxoid to produce tetanus immunoglobulin, thus neutralizing the toxic reaction caused by tetanus infection. If more than 24 hours, in clinical normal do not advocate tetanus toxoid injection, advocate the use of tetanus immunoglobulin, that is, do not allow patients to produce their own active immunity, the use of exogenous tetanus immunoglobulin to provide passive immunity against possible tetanus infection symptoms. Therefore, the best time to get tetanus from trauma is to inject tetanus toxoid, which is normally within 24 hours after trauma. If you are allergic, you should use tetanus immunoglobulin.
