My daughter just stepped on two nails. Nails that I am sure are full of every bad thing you can think about. We live in a place where you can find from rabbits, snakes, coyotes, rats and the whole zoo(I am thinking pee and feces) Anybody has done a tetanus shot while on Remicade? How do I have to react? Do I panic?

Tetanus shots are good for 10 years
Didn't she get a booster dtp in 6th or 7th grade
As long as it's not a live vaccine shots are ok

I would get the booster. Although Tetanus is good for 10 years. They tend to give the booster when there risk (bite, nails etc) and more than 5 years from the shot.

DH had one recently for dog bite.
