A member asked:
Good afternoon! i'd like to know if there is some risk of tetenus taking in account that i got a toxoid vaccine and this cut already cicatrized?

Tetanus vaccine help: If you had a wound and had wound treatment that included a tetanus toxoid booster, then this is very helpful. Certain attributes of the wound and injury will determine tetanus risk. Tetanus has a relatively short incubation period as well (a few days to several weeks, with the average 7 to 10 days) so if your wound has already scarred over, then the chances are decreased. Vaccine is very effective
