A member asked:

Can you take another tetanus vaccine two weeks after the other??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can or should? There is no reason to take a 2nd tetanus toxoid booster 2 weeks from the first. The 1st dose will cover a 2nd exposure. If taking the primary series (never had it before) these are usually given no closer than 6 weeks apart.
