Hello there. I can understand your concern. Yes, you should have taken a tetanus shot yesterday itself. Within 6hours of injury you should have taken. If you have taken a tetanus shot in the recent past then you don't need to take. The effect lasts for 5 years. Consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management. Best regards.
