Hi, hope he is doing fine now! Check with your doctor if your child needed a tetanus booster. Tetanus (DTaP) vaccine usually given as a part of routine childhood immunization. And children should get five doses of DTaP ( Pediatric diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine) vaccine, one dose at each of the following ages: - 2 months - 4 months - 6 months - 15 through 18 months - 4 through 6 years of age Hope it helps!
