Accompaniment is generally recommended for tetanus shots, but they can be given without accompaniment. There are two main types of clinical tetanus shots, one is tetanus antitoxin and the other is tetanus immunoglobulin. Tetanus antitoxin requires a skin test prior to administration to see if there is an allergy to the drug before determining if tetanus antitoxin can be administered, so a family member should accompany the patient. During the skin test, the patient should be observed for any abnormal symptoms. For safety reasons, it is recommended that the patient be accompanied by a family member and not leave until half an hour after the injection. However, if no family member is able to accompany the patient, it is possible to give the injection by yourself. Tetanus immunoglobulin is a biological agent that does not require skin testing, but it may cause some reactions after injection, so for safety reasons, it is necessary to be accompanied by a family member and leave half an hour after injection.
