Since you received a TT injection in 2023, you are likely still protected as tetanus coverage lasts 5-10 years from the last dose. For a small, clean cut, you generally do not need another injection within 5 years of the last dose. However, if the wound was contaminated with soil or rust, a booster may be advisable — a doctor can assess the wound and decide.
Next Steps
Clean the wound well with antiseptic and consult a doctor if it's deep or contaminated. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.
