Precautions

Take extra caution in patients with the following medical conditions:

• History of severe allergic reactions: If you have a history of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) to any vaccine or vaccine component, it is important to discuss this with your healthcare provider before receiving the tetanus vaccine. They can evaluate the risk and determine the best course of action.
• Moderate or severe acute illness: If you are currently experiencing a moderate or severe acute illness, it is advisable to delay receiving the tetanus vaccine until you have recovered. This is to ensure that any symptoms or reactions can be properly assessed and attributed to the vaccine if necessary.
• Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS): If you have previously experienced Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare neurological disorder, it is important to inform your healthcare provider. While the risk is extremely low, they can assess your individual situation and determine the appropriate course of action.

Interactions

The tetanus vaccine is not known to have any significant drug interactions. It is generally safe to receive the tetanus vaccine along with other medications or vaccines. However, it is always important to inform your healthcare provider about any medications, supplements, or vaccines you are taking or planning to take.

If you are currently taking immunosuppressive medications or undergoing treatments that weaken your immune system, it is especially important to discuss this with your healthcare provider. They can evaluate your individual situation and determine the most appropriate timing for the tetanus vaccine.

Additionally, if you have recently received another vaccine, it is generally recommended to wait at least a few weeks before receiving the tetanus vaccine. This is to ensure optimal immune response and to minimize any potential interference between vaccines.

Inform your physician about the drugs you take including over-the-counter medications, prescribed drugs, supplements and vitamins.
