Can I get Tetanus after 1 month?

2017-08-16 14:36:31
Hi I had fallen down on road while I was in US last month. As I had to take a flight, I couldn't get a tetanus. After that I thought it was too late and didn't get it. But someone told me today that we can get it in 3 months. So should I get it now? I had got a scratch on my knee and small wounds on feet. Thanks in advance
