Hi, I am scheduled to have a Synvisc injection in my knee tomorrow. I volunteer at a local animal shelter and was scratched by one of the cats yesterday. The wound looks fine, but Im having a tetanus booster tomorrow morning. Is it OK to have the tetanus booster and the Synvisc shot on the same day? Thank you
Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. In my opinion you should go for it. Both the thing have different mechanism of action, and they do not interfere with each other. Synvisc injection is used to replace the fluids in the knee joints. It has nothing to do with antibodies in the body, intern it is inert material. While tetanus toxins generate the antibodies in the body against the tetanus bacilli. I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.  Thank you. ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist.
