I'm wondering how long I should wait before getting a tetanus shot. Is it risky if I don't get one soon? I'm really concerned about this and would really appreciate some advice.

After an injury, a tetanus injection should ideally be taken within 24 hours. However, if it has been more than 24 hours since the injury and you are unsure of your vaccination status, it is still recommended to get the injection as soon as possible. Tetanus is a serious bacterial infection that can be life-threatening if left untreated, so it is important not to ignore it. The standard tetanus vaccine is called Tdap, and the recommended dosage for adults is a single dose.
