Do you need a tetanus shot for a haircut to the ear?

Haircutting to the ear if bleeding should be injected with tetanus antitoxin or tetanus human immunoglobulin. If children under 10 years of age cut to the ear bleeding, due to the children are now generally vaccinated with DPT vaccine, with tetanus antibody, can be maintained until about 10 years of age, so children under 10 years of age vaccinated with DPT vaccine can not be injected again tetanus antitoxin or tetanus human immunoglobulin. For patients over 10 years of age, the hairdresser cuts to the ear, and if there is bleeding from the wound, consider a full skin laceration. Tetanus bacillus is an anaerobic bacterium and deeper wounds are more susceptible to the growth and multiplication of tetanus bacillus, hence the need for intramuscular tetanus antitoxin or tetanus human immunoglobulin. When you cut your hair to the ear, seek early hospital care and standardized treatment.
