If the TT injection taken 2 years ago was booster then there is no need of repeat vaccination.

I can provide general medical adviser.
Since you received a tetanus (TT) injection in 2023 and you have a fresh cut from a sharp metal object, you may not need another shot if you are up to date with your tetanus booster (usually recommended every 5–10 years). However, if the wound is deep, contaminated, or if you haven't had a tetanus booster in the last 5 years, you should consider getting another TT shot.
It's also essential to clean the wound thoroughly with antiseptic and monitor for signs of infection. If you experience redness, swelling, or pus, consult a doctor immediately. I recommend a consultation for a more personalized assessment. Let me know if you need further guidance!
