Do I need a tetanus shot?

2023-10-27 14:18:33
Yesterday I wore an earring which had a  rusted pin. I did not see any blood as such. I got my last tt shot six months before. Is there a chance  that I might get tetanus from the ear piercing or need another tt shot for this?

Patient's detailed medical history is required. It is recommended to consult a doctor professional through the Practo app or visit a local medical facility for a thorough evaluation. Please keep in mind that detailed medical history is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment.
