If a patient has unknown or >3 does of tetanus toxoid Td Tetanus immunoglobulin TIG:
2. Should Td be given for a small clean wound?
3. Should TIG be give for the small clean wound?
4. Should Td be given for all other wounds?
5. Should TIG be given for all other wounds?

1. No it will not
2. Yes Td, but no TIG is necessary
3. No
4. Yes Both are necessary
5. Yes

Front 5

2. Should Td be given for a small clean wound?

4. Should Td be given for all other wounds?
5. Should TIG be given for all other wounds?

Back 5

2. No unless greater than 10 yrs for last dose
3. No TIG
