Hello,
You mean she is 10 and half years old? Generally, routine TT vaccines are given at 10 yrs. If you have not given that you can give it now. no need to worry for bruises alone. If there are pain and swelling you may need to give antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Rajmohan, Pediatrician
