Do I need to have a tetanus vaccination?

2018-12-25 14:50:29
My work involves using measuring tape. Today while winding up, I got a small cut on my finger not deep and bleeding stopped immediately. I cleaned it with a sanitizer as I had no access to water. I had a tetanus vaccination twice 4 years ago because my toe nail was removed. Do I have to take a vaccination or am I worrying too much?
