Papunta sa lugar na maraming tetano, kelangan ba magpa inject ng boosters? Risks, immunity, rural areas

Tanung po, papunta po kasi ako sa probinsya namin kung saan marami raw kaso ng tetano. Kelangan ko po bang magpa injection kung nagkaroon na ako ng regular boosters?


Topic: I'm going to a province or area with a lot of tetanus cases. Should I still have injection even if I already have regular boosters?

Kung mayroon ka ng kumpletong 5 bakuna sa tetanus hindi mo na kailangan ng higit pa nito dahil ang kompletong dose nito ay magbibigay sayo ng habang buhay na proteksyon. Subalit depende ito kung saan ka pupunta. Kung ikaw ay maglalakbay sa kung saan mahirap makahanap ng tulong medikal kelangan mo magpa booster talaga para kung sakali man na ikaw ay masugatan at walang makuhang tulong medikal. Bago ka umalis magpabakuna ka lalo na kung di ka nabakunahan sa nakaraang 10 taon.
Kausapin ang iyong doctor kung kelangan mo ng bakuna bago ka maglakbay at sa mga karagdagang katanunagan.
