What Is The Dosage Of TT Injection During Second Trimester?
Question: Good day,
My wife is in 2nd trimester (4th month running). We are not sure when exactly TT injection needs to be taken & for what frequencies. Some say it should be in 4th & 9th months. Some others say it should be taken in 5,6, 7th months.
What are the right time periods & frequencies for these TT injection shots?
Is their any specific quantity that varies?
She is in her hometown now. If she takes one TT injection shot now by a doctor at her place (Ananthapur Andhra Pradesh) and remaining TT injection shots in XXXXXXX when she is back, will that be okay for baby & mother?
Kindly through some light on this TT injection requirements.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks - XXXXX
