A child’s bite does not require a tetanus shot if the wound is shallow, but if the wound is more serious, a tetanus shot is required. When bitten by a small child, the wound is usually small and superficial, and will heal quickly, which does not have the conditions for tetanus infection, so you do not need to take a tetanus shot. If you are bitten by a small child, the wound is indeed larger, deeper and bleeds more, there is also a possibility of tetanus infection, because tetanus tends to grow in an anaerobic environment, in deep and narrow wounds, and in this case it is necessary to go to the tetanus shot. So whether you need to get a tetanus shot is based on the specific situation. It is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible, first to treat and disinfect the wound, and then to judge whether you need to get a tetanus shot.
