A stray cat scratched me 2 years ago but I can't remember the exact date then I took vaccine. Yesterday 28 june 2023 a 2 and half month old kitten bite me and a mongoose has bite him when he was 2 weeks old. Today 29 th june doc gave me tetanus injection and told me to take vaccine day 3 day 7 and day 20. Is it dangerous to take vaccine again? I am so afraid.

It is not dangerous to take vaccine after an interval of atleast 4 weeks from previous course. Usually you will get minor side effects like redness, pain at site and fever and myalgia only which resolves in 2 -3 days do contact me for further diagnosis and treatment or if you still have some doubts you want to clear.
