What if your child is five she has a cut she had a tetanus at three months old is she still covered?

She should get another tetanus booster just to be safe. Tetanus shots are usually good for about five years, so she might be due for her booster if she's reaching five years and three months. It also wouldn't hurt her to get a booster shot early. I've sometimes gotten a new tetanus shot after only three years depending on my health insurance situation.

If cost is a concern, you should ask a doctor or nurse if she can wait a little longer. Tetanus is fatal and horribly painful, so it's not something you want to take unnecessary chances with.
