What Are Effects Of Giving Double Dose Of Tetanus Shot?
My son received a tetanus booster two days ago at hospital because he suffered a wound in his hand from scissors. However he was given a routine tetanus at school in February - he is 15. He dose not appear to have had a reaction to the booster - should I be concerned that he has overdosed on the vaccine?

hi...do not worry. It will just boost up the immunity. No complications except the usual pain of TT vaccine, which is expected.
