Hello Ma'am,
Which vaccine are you talking about here? The one against tetanus? And what exactly is your question?
46-year-old woman · 4 years ago
Yes I am talking about the tetanus vaccine. I want to know if it is still effective? If I should consult or wait and consult if I have symptoms

Okay, thanks!
Depending on your information, the answer is somewhat different. So I refer you to this very well done tool to find out if you need immunoglobulin and a tetanus booster dose: https://www.msss.gouv.qc.ca/aide-decision/etape.php?situation=Tetanos
Happy day :)
