Can Tetanus Injection Be Taken Safely During Pregnancy?
Hi, I just got a superficial scrape (tiny bit of blood), from an old rusty nail on the outside of a foreclosed house we were looking at. I m 31 weeks pregnant, and all the minor emergencies have closed already. I s a tetanus shot safe to take during pregnancy, also how long is too long to wait?

Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
It is important to have tetanus shot in pregnancy.
If you didn't had it in previous months then get it as soon as possible but in case you already had that then no need to have another shot.
In case you have any questions in future you can contact me directly on http://bit.ly/drmanishajain
