Question
How to give newborns the tetanus shot?
Answer
Newborns typically do not require anesthesia for the tetanus immunoglobulin injection. Generally, the DTP vaccine, which includes the tetanus component for active immunization, is administered at around 3 months after birth. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the baby contracting tetanus. In daily care, it is important to closely monitor the child and avoid them from being cut by items like wires.
