A member asked:
I had tetanus vaccine the nurse told me after giving the shot i should have another one next day to have it for 10 years can tet vaccine be divided ?

Confusing statement: If tetanus vaccine is given to an adult without prior vaccine, the routine here includes doses at least a month apart X3 as the initial series. Boosters every 10 years would then be standard.I have never heard of giving 2 doses a day apart.
