On Monday my daughter fell outside and cut her leg pretty badly. We went to the ER and she needed 12 stitches and they gave her a Tetanus shot as she is not vaccinated. I am still not sure what she cut herself as when i looked at the place she fell there was nothing but snow and ice. While we were at the hospital they wanted to give her an additional tetanus shot because they said the cut was large. I declined because all they had was the TDaP vaccine and i didn't want that. The doctor told me that within 48 hours i needed to give her another tetanus shot and to call another hospital to see if they had a single dose tetanus vaccine. I have not given her the second shot because i think she is fine... but i am now second guessing that decision. Any thoughts on this? Shouldn't the shot at the hospital have been enough? The reason they said she needed 2 was because she is not immunized. Sorry for the rambly post...its late and this whole situation has exhausted me.
