In India, the recommended course of tetanus toxoid immunization usually involves two doses, given at least four weeks apart. The exact schedule should be determined by your healthcare provider, considering your previous immunization records and current health status. It's crucial to have completed the tetanus toxoid vaccination series before pregnancy to safeguard against tetanus infection.
