It is better to take a tetanus injection tomorrow because we don't know the efficacy of your last tetanus shot nothing will happen if you take one

Wash the wound thoroughly. TT would protect for a minimum of 5 years So, theoretically, you can skip the injection. But for a safer side, You can get the TT vaccination.
