A neighbors rottweiler got loose and bit my son outside of our Lansdale PA home. Does he need a tetanus shot?
• Tetanus is a disease caused by bacteria found in soil or dust that infects humans by entering the body thru cuts or puncture wounds. • Sometimes symptoms of severe muscle spasms in the face, neck, abdomen and/or extremities do not appear for days after the initial trauma. • Please seek a doctor’s opinion, especially if it has been more than 5 years since your child’s last tetanus shot.
