Whether or not a child needs tetanus shots after receiving DPT varies from person to person.
The reason is that tetanus vaccine, which is active immunization, has a long duration of effect. Therefore, if a child has been vaccinated with DPT, he or she has already acquired active immunity and does not need to be vaccinated with tetanus shot after the injury.
Considering the effect of vaccination and the effect of individual active immunization are not the same, the duration of vaccine protection is also different. If the child has a deep wound with little bleeding at the time of trauma, and the wound is not disinfected and sterilized in time, etc., tetanus shots are still recommended.
If a child suffers a traumatic injury after playing tetanus, he or she needs to go to the hospital as soon as possible, and the doctor will make an individualized diagnosis and treatment plan according to the specific condition, so as not to delay the condition.
