Neonatal tetanus injection method?

There are two preparations used: tetanus antitoxin (Tat, from horse) and human tetanus immunoglobulin (TIG, from human). The former requires skin test, while the latter does not. Tetanus needle skin test allergy clinically mainly refers to tetanus antitoxin (Tat, from horse) skin test allergy, can be changed to injection of human tetanus immunoglobulin (TIG, from human) to obtain protection, if there is no TIG, can take Tat desensitization injection, the specific method can consult the medical staff. If you have a strict vaccination history, you can consult the doctor according to the condition. If you are in the protection period, you do not need to inject tat.

Use tetanus immunoglobulin if necessary. Tetanus immunoglobulin is made from high titer plasma or serum collected from healthy blood donors immunized with hepatitis B vaccine and tetanus toxoid. It is mainly used for the prevention and treatment of tetanus, especially for those who have allergic reaction to tetanus antitoxin. It is suitable for tetanus patients with unclear immune history, serum allergy, wound infection for more than 24 hours and no immunity after inoculating tetanus toxoid.

Tetanus immunoglobulin is prepared by extracting and inactivating the virus from the plasma of healthy people immunized with hepatitis B vaccine and then by adsorbing tetanus vaccine. Human tetanus immunoglobulin is a kind of artificial passive immunity. It produces immune effect immediately after injection, but the duration is short. The immune time is 2 weeks, generally not more than 3 weeks. There was no adverse reaction after injection. Very few people have swelling, pain, without special treatment, can recover.
